The AFRICA ECO RACE will be broadcasted on EUROSPORT (59 countries) and EUROSPORT 2 (46 countries). Of course, the programs broadcasted on these channels will also be available at any time on their Internet portals.
Here we are, the last road book page of the 9th edition of the AFRICA ECO RACE® closes itself.
But just before that, and before starting to prepare the upcoming 10th anniversary, an enjoyable nice little flashback with shots of nice moments and values of the 2017 AFRICA ECO RACE® which took place between December 29th 2016 and January 14th 2017.
Jean Louis SCHLESSER and René METGE are currently in Africa for the traditional pre-race work meetings with the various local administrations. The rest of the AFRICA ECO RACE® crew is busy at the headquarters doing the finals touches. Everything is on track to make this 9th edition the most spectacular one yet, with an impressive lineup, a beautiful course, a crew eager than ever to assist all the teams and a media team that is getting stronger as the start approaches.
While in August, some are on holiday, others are at work. Within the AFRICA ECO RACE® team, the atmosphere is always at work in order to make this 9th edition, an adventure which will once again be memorable. Some prepare their bags, computers, cards, paper, pencils and vehicles before leaving in a few days for last recos in Africa in order to complete the course and finalize the road books. Others work hard to organize the start from the Principality of Monaco. Finally, the privileged ones, meet with beautiful persons, rather a beautiful one !
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.
June 2nd, took place at the IN Café in Lisbon, the press conference of the 9th edition of the AFRICA ECO RACE®, which will take place between 29th of December 2016 and 14th of January 2017. The presentation was attended by the Directors of the Portuguese Federation of Automobile and Karting as well as the Motorcycle Federation of Portugal, pilots, navigators and various medias.
It is always a pleasure for the population of Menton to witness the arrival of all these vehicles: trucks, cars, buggies, motorbikes… It is also all about the human and convivial aspect of this race which races through the city of Menton.

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
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.
