2009 South Africa Giniel de Villiers Germany Dirk von Zitzewitz

NOTE: Because of the 2007 killing of French tourists in Mauritania, the ASO postponed and relocated the Dakar Rally in 2008, and the race became the 2008 Central Europe Rally. The ASO deferred all Dakar entries to that event, which is technically part of the Dakar lineage.
