A SELECTIVE SECOND DAY
In the end, the first Moroccan night on the Bivouac of La Momie wasn’t as cold as cold as predicted as the temperature did not go bellow 3 degrees. Luckily because after this first long stage of the 11th edition of the AFRICA ECO RACE, some competitors arrived very late. Therefore, repairs and maintenance went on a good part of the night. Nevertheless, besides Philippe PINCHEDEZ who is forced to abandon after his CAN AM SSV drove into a rift, all the participants were at the start this morning. On today’s stage, 430 kilometers that will be challenging for many.

AFRICA ECO RACE 2019 : UNDER THE MENTON SUN
The choice of organizing the administrative and technical verifications of the city of Menton was not out of luck. On one side, this French Riviera city borders Italy and is only a few miles from Monaco, from which we have organized these last 4 years the official start of this great African Rally. On another, with 316 sunny days a year and a warm climate even in winter, the organizers of the AFRICA ECO RACE decided to choose the location with the best possible conditions for its participants. This year, once again, it was a true success with sunny days all around and temperatures up to 20 degrees to follow participants in this 11th edition.
