Dakar Rally streaming daily on NBC Sports Live Extra
Sunday’s coverage of Stage 1 was handled by NBC Formula One essayist Sam Posey, but all other recaps will feature commentary from NBC F1/IndyCar voice Leigh Diffey.
"Many racing events claim to be the ultimate test of man and machine, but they simply do not compare to the Dakar Rally," Diffey said in an NBC Sports Group release. "Make no mistake – racing for 24 continuous hours is tough, but competing for two weeks is an all-together different deal.
"The grueling and at times life-threatening nature of this event is awe-inspiring. The spectacular scenery sometimes softens the immense bravery and sheer gritty determination of the competitors. Dakar is an event like no other."
