1998 Paris–Granada–Dakar Rally

1998 Dakar Rally, also known as the 1998 Paris–Granada–Dakar Rally, was the 20th running of the Dakar Rally event. The rally returned to a traditional Paris to Dakar route last used in 1993.[1] A number of competitors were attacked by unknown attackers near the end of the ninth stage, at Taoudenni in Mali.[2] Jean-Pierre Fontenay won the car class and Stéphane Peterhansel won his sixth and final motorcycle title before switching to the car category for subsequent events.[1] The truck title was won by Karel Loprais in a Tatra 815.
