A flood … of good news!

Despite the bad weather of an unusual violence which struck Brussels on Tuesday June 7th in the early evening, blocking many guests to join us, the presentation of the AFRICA ECO RACE® 2017 in Belgium was a real success.

Several teams from Belgium, but also from northern France and the Netherlands were present inside the beautiful Autoworld building to hear Jean-Louis SCHLESSER and Belgian correspondant, Philippe JANSSENS, detailing the new things to come on the 2017 edition which is very promising.

Both in terms of the registration and in terms of the course which will go down to Dakar, the 9th edition of the AFRICA ECO RACE® should be exceptional in every point!

Concerning Belgium, several bikers, but several car and truck teams also showed their real interest to register and join the caravan that will start, from Monaco on December 31st.

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.
Jérôme FROISSART - Directeur AMADE Mondiale

This event created by Jean Louis SCHLESSER and René METGE is a precise cocktail where the pleasure of racing bonds with the beauty of the landscapes and the nice atmosphere between everyone on the bivouacs
Franck ALLARD - AMV assurances

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 !
Wil THEUWS - Team Manager QFF Racing

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.
