STAGE 12: SAINT-LOUIS (BOUBENE) / LAC ROSE: 311.55 kms

Special stage: 22.91 kms

Liaison : 48;15

After a final night under the magnificent African starry sky, even before daybreak, the entire AFRICA ECO RACE caravan will set off for Lac Rose, 200 kilometers away. There, for the glory of it all, since the standings have been fixed since the previous day, the motorcycles, cars and trucks of this 15th edition will take a line start on Niokob beach. With the ocean as a backdrop, the final 22 kilometers to the podium, set up by the Fédération Sénégalaise de Sport Auto et Moto, should be nothing short of exhilarating. Then comes the prize-giving ceremony, a moment of glory and sharing after more than 6,000 kilometers covered on the African continent.

Competition and sharing define the spirit of the Africa Eco Race

We congratulate AFRICA ECO RACE for their support AMADE and enabling Mauritanian and Senegalese students to have access to solar lamps. A child with light at home, is a child able to do his homework when night comes.

For us as service-team, the AER feels like going on a road-trip with the whole family ! Together we follow the ancient African trails. Together with the complete organization of the AER we give it all to bring our teams to the legendary Lac Rose ! Being true fans of the AER we enjoy the whole concept as you find in no other race, as one of our SSV pilots reminded me, there is only one real race to Dakar !

The enthusiam and passion of the team as well as their constant research of bringing eco-responsable actions to their event, make the AFRICA ECO RACE one of the unmissable events of the Principality and we are proud to welcome them every year. We encourage everybody to buy a maximum of solar lamps provided by AMADE and AFRICA ECO RACE. More than a daily use, they will enable senegalese and mauritanian children to walk safely home after dark and will contribute to reducing the racing vehicules' carbon footprint.
