Amaury Sport Organisation (A.S.O.) and Saudi Motorsport Company (SMC) have jointly decided that Dakar Saudi Arabia 2027, scheduled from 1 to 15 January 2027, will not be held in the Kingdom, following recent developments in the region.
This decision is exceptional and one-off and was taken in close coordination with the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation (SAMF), and with the support of the FIA and the FIM.

Both organisations are already working together to make this milestone an exceptional moment for the Dakar and for the Kingdom, with a shared commitment to once again deliver an iconic and world-class event to the highest of standards.
Since 2020, Saudi Arabia has hosted seven consecutive editions of Dakar, welcoming competitors from around the world on routes that showcased the Kingdom’s remarkable geographical diversity. These editions have made Saudi Arabia an integral part of the Dakar community and established a strong, long-term strategic partnership between A.S.O., SMC and SAMF. All three organisations reaffirm their commitment to continuing their cooperation, developing motorsport in the Kingdom and delivering outstanding experiences for competitors, teams and fans.

In California, Washington and Colorado, men are surpassing women in taking paid parental leave. A Pew survey found 84% of working parents said paid family or medical leave would be helpful to them, but only half said it was available to them. npr.org/2026/10/25/nx-s1-597…

It's looking like a wet Halloween weekend for #SoCal.
Here is the 6-10 Day Outlook, indicating chances for above normal rainfall for next weekend.
* Moderate to high confidence in measurable rain
* Low confidence in exact timing and amounts

Unfortunately with a stacked field, the #45 of @LavarScott will miss this afternoon's show by a margin of just 0.006 seconds.

Cooler weather is rolling in across North America, so it’s time to trade out those summer fits — with a little help from our (bird) friends.

This is a huge problem in policymaking and is also true for congressional staffers (and worse for advocates). Get off the internet, go to a third place, act like decent humans, build trust, agree to get to yes together, and solve the problem.
