Hi guys.Does anyone know where i can find a list of overall winners for the Dakar rally?

As far as i can see they don't have such a thing anymore?In the early years the event was always won by bikes, now it seemsto be always the cars doing the winning.When did that change?

Do the bikes and cars even run the same course anymore?

I don't know if you can define an 'overall' winner. There are some differences of the bike vs car courses - there were a couple stages run on different tracks (7 and 8?) which seems to be the standard for the last several years, plus there are typically in-race route revisions due to weather, route conditions, safety, etc. I suspect the overall mileage is pretty close, though. This year was somewhere around 9000 kms.
