THE COURSE

The route will be extremely variable, on brand news tracks with a lot of driving, in the heart of unforgettable landscapes with a real resting in Morocco and two loop stages in Mauritania.
The course will be designed in such a way that the competitors will find all what they are looking for with a minimum of liaisons, also for assistances to be able to rest and fully devote themselves to their drivers and machines.
For the second consecutive year and after last year’s success, the “500 Miles” stage without assistance will be renewed in Mauritania. It’s a safe bet that this stage could shake the ranks, a few days before the finish line!
