🇲🇱 STAGE 12 IN SENEGAL - LAC ROSE

THE AFRICA ECO RACE 2022 HAS ARRIVED IN DAKAR. As tradition dictates, the 14th edition of the AFRICA ECO RACE came to an end on Sunday 30 October 2022 at Lac Rose in Dakar, with the final photo under the finish arch of the entire organisation team.

🇲🇱 STAGE 11 IN SENEGAL

THE FINAL STAGE WITHOUT SURPRISES ON THE AFRICA ECO RACE. During the briefing yesterday evening at the Ouad Naga bivouac, Manfred KROISS, the Sporting Director of the AFRICA ECO RACE 2022, had indicated that the final timed sector was complicated because the tracks were covered with vegetation, masking the traps of the track.

🇲🇷 STAGE 10 IN MAURITANIA

THE MOST DIFFICULT STAGE SINCE THE CREATION OF THE AFRICA ECO RACE Whether on two or four wheels, those who will emerge from today's special stage, a 456 km loop around Ouad Naga, will undoubtedly be heroes. Indeed, it was by all accounts the most difficult stage since the creation of the AFRICA ECO RACE in 2009.

🇲🇷 STAGE 9 IN MAURITANIA

MAURITANIA STILL AS SELECTIVE ON THE AFRICA ECO RACE. Second special stage victory for Xavier FLICK in the motorbike category. Philippe GOSSELIN and Christophe CRESPO do not give up in cars.

🇲🇷 STAGE 8 IN MAURITANIE

THE AKJOUJT LOOP STILL AS DIFFICULT AS EVER ON THE AFRICA ECO RACE. For several editions of the AFRICA ECO RACE, the loop stage around the village of Akjoujt has been one of the rally's defining stages.

🇲🇷 STAGE 7 IN MAURITANIA

EARLY START FOR FIRST MAURITANIAN STAGE AFRICA ECO RACE. After the cancellation of the first special stage in Mauritania, everyone was eager to get started this morning at the start of this 7th stage between Chami and Akjoujt. The start this morning had been brought forward by 30 minutes so that the competitors could avoid driving in the high temperatures of the afternoon.

🇲🇷 STAGE 6 IN MAURITANIA

CANCELLATION OF THE FIRST MAURITANIAN SPECIAL ON THE AFRICA ECO RACE. It was 6.00 am this morning when Frenchman Xavier FLICK set off on the long 370 km liaison to the border between the Western Sahara part of Morocco and Mauritania. Close to the border between the two countries, a tent had been set up by the Moroccan authorities to provide a breakfast buffet worthy of the one in the Port of Nador. This was yet another demonstration of the extraordinary welcome that Morocco has given the AFRICA ECO RACE.
