AFRICA RACE 2024 – STAGE N°6 : DAKHLA -> CHAMI
The AFRICA ECO RACE caravan got up at dawn on Monday 8 January for the 370 km liaison to the Moroccan border. A superb traditional Moroccan buffet awaited the participants before they left the country and crossed the no man’s land into Mauritania. After customs and a 30 km liaison, the competitors of this 15th edition started from Boulanouar for the 205 km special to the Chami bivouac: an ideal introduction to the sandy tracks of this second week.

AFRICA RACE 2024 – STAGE N°5 : FORT CHACAL -> DAKHLA
This final stage of the AFRICA ECO RACE on Moroccan soil was completed at lightning speed, with the 404km selective sector completed in 03:31:53 for the bike and 03:31:53 for the car. An identical time to the nearest second! Something rarely seen in the history of Cross-Country Rallies. This is certainly due to the fact that since this year, the cars, SSVs and trucks have all been neutralised for 20 minutes, just like the bikes. It's quite a coincidence, but one that deserves to be highlighted.

AFRICA RACE 2024 – STAGE N°4 : OUED DRAA (ASSA) -> FORT CHACAL
For some competitors in the AFRICA ECO RACE 2024, Stage 3 may have left its mark, but for others, the motivation was very much in evidence this morning at the start of the bivouac at Oued Draa, not far from Tagounite. It has to be said that this 467km special was particularly long, over varied terrain with some rather demanding navigation at the end of the route.

With 8 degrees on the thermometer, the temperature was already much milder on the morning of Thursday January 4 at the start of the Oued Draa bivouac, not far from Mahmid, the Mecca of Rally Raids in Morocco. All the conditions were in place for a great day's racing.
