PRESS RELEASE: 6 FEBRUARY
The final competitive stage of the Africa Eco Race 2026 marked the transition toward the conclusion of an exceptional adventure. Covering 475 kilometers, including 103 kilometers of timed special stage, this day of transition between Mauritania and Senegal offered a striking contrast.
Gradually, the vast dune fields gave way to savannah landscapes. The light, the vegetation, even the atmosphere of the rally changed kilometer after kilometer. In the Senegalese special stage, rich in emotion, competitors were greeted by large numbers of spectators gathered near villages, applauding the passing caravan and reminding everyone that the Africa Eco Race is also a deeply human adventure.
