AFRICA RACE 2024 – PODIUM AT LAC ROSE
On Sunday 14 January 2024, as has been the tradition since the creation of the AFRICA ECO RACE, the 15th edition came to a close at Lac Rose in Dakar. The parade of winners and finishers on the podium, organised by the Fédération Sénégalaise Auto Moto, the event's host organisation, was a real celebration. The ceremony was preceded by the traditional 22km Lac Rose special stage, from Niokob beach to the mythical lake, which the motorbikes, cars and trucks still in the running completed. It was a last hurrah of honour, but there are surprises in store every year.

AFRICA RACE 2024 – STAGE N°10 : AMODJAR -> AKJOUJT
Up until now, the AFRICA ECO RACE has been spared from weather problems. Unfortunately, on Friday morning, for the 10th stage, a violent wind swept across the Amodjar plateau causing a sandstorm that prevented the organisation's helicopters from taking off. Without a helicopter, it was impossible to ensure optimum safety and to monitor the race, so the decision was taken to send the bikes, cars and trucks in convoy to the petrol station from where the start was given. As a result, the 387km special stage was shortened by 190km, cutting out the section of dunes planned for the start of the stage.

AFRICA RACE 2024 – STAGE N°9 : AMODJAR -> AMODJAR
All the competitors were unanimous upon arriving at the finish line located on the runway of the Chinguetti airfield in saying that this 9th stage in the form of a loop around Amodjar was the most beautiful so far in this 15th edition of the AFRICA ECO RACE. But it was also the most difficult, with a copious 90km stretch of dunes and, once again, varied terrain that was hard on both machines and men. All this over 363 kilometers in blazing sunshine. As a result, the gaps at the finish were quite large, and the rankings were shaken up several times, except at the top of the table.

AFRICA RACE 2024 – STAGE N°8 : CHAMI -> AMODJAR
By the end of the 390km special stage between Chami and Amodjar, there was no doubt that all the terrain and difficulties that can be found in Africa were on display, in the heart of the splendid Mauritanian desert landscape and in unseasonably high temperatures. Despite all this, the leaders held up well in both the car and motorbike categories, so there were few changes.

AFRICA RACE 2024 – STAGE N°7 : CHAMI -> CHAMI
Everything possible is being done on the AFRICA ECO RACE to minimise the impact of the event on the environment of the countries it crosses. To achieve this, setting up loops around a bivouac is an ideal strategy, as the rally caravan doesn't have to move around. This was the case today, with the start 20km from the bivouac of Chami and the finish 500 meters away after a 453km special stage. This first loop should do some damage to the standings, both on the bikes, where many riders are missing waypoints, and on the four-wheelers, where the gaps at the finish are quite substantial.
