“I had enriching relationships with my friends Hubert Auriol and René Metge, whospoke to me for years with great passion about this race. Unfortunately, mycommitments to the Trophée Andros prevented me from experiencing the legendaryrally-raid tracks. This year, I crossed paths with Jean Louis Schlesser at the JulesBianchi Marathon at Le Castellet, and he invited me to discover the AFRICA ECORACE. I couldn’t resist the offer. I participated in the World Cup forCross-Country Rallies with a pro truck in 2001, and I really enjoyed thisdiscipline, so demanding and yet so human. I can’t wait to sleep in my sleepingbag under the tent, enjoy these simple moments, and take in the landscapes allthe way to Lac Rose in Dakar” said Franck Lagorce.
