That's an interesting question, Kev.
So far as I know, no such thing exists, or has even been mooted, although it could be argued that the Monte Carlo rally ought to have formed part of the triple crown, rather than the Grand Prix - after all, it started in 1911 (same year as Indianapolis), whilst Le Mans came along in 1923 and a race on the streets of Monaco didn't happen until 1929, attaining Grand Prix status in 1933 but having a sketchy post-war period before settling down in 1955 to become the iconic event it is now.
In modern rallying terms, there are maybe three standout events in prestige terms, those being Monte, the 1000 Lakes (now boringly called Rally Finland) and the Safari, which hasn't been run in the WRC since 2002 as it had simply become too dangerous and expensive to run an event like this on open public roads (although it runs as a historic event every two years and has recently held a WRC-style candidate event on closed roads, so it may yet make a long overdue return). The other Grandes Dames of the WRC are Sweden, the RAC (a.k.a. Rally GB), the Tour de Corse, the Acropolis (sadly demoted for largely political reasons) and Portugal, which lost quite a bit of it's cachet when it had a spell away from the classic stages to the north of Porto for safety reasons. However, fine events though they are, none of these has enough about them to challenge the first three as contenders to form part of a triple crown.
Dakar is obviously a very different challenge, and worthy of its place at the pointy end of any list of great motorsport events. Many WRC drivers have tried their hand, but generally at the tail end of their career (Juha Kankkunen and Ari Vatanen being exceptions, mainly due to their employers being forced out of WRC through the rule changes that saw the end of Group B).
If I were to pick a third discipline, it would probably be rallycross, which is enjoying such an upsurge in popularity at the moment. The problem with that is, there's no single round of the series that has iconic status in the way that Monte Carlo does in rallying, or the Indy 500 in oval racing - they're all a bit homogenous (even more so now that Lydden Hill has been replaced by Silverstone). It's still an off-road discipline though, and has plenty of ex-rally drivers competing.
