Without doubt the most spectacular category of the AFRICA ECO RACE, the trucks, real mastodons of the desert, are often driven by drivers with a big heart and profoundly human. Meet them on the next race, which will take place from 11 to 26 March 2023!
The 14th edition of the AFRICA ECO RACE 2022 has just ended with a festive finish on the shores of Lac Rose and everyone is already talking about the next edition on March 2023 !
The reconnaissance team led by Manfred Kroiss will take the road on this Thursday, December 1st for three weeks of reconnaissance. They will criss-cross the African tracks of the next AFRICA ECO RACE to concoct a route combining new tracks and varied landscapes.

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.
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.
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.
It's a race with values , human values, eco-responsable values… A true and efficient aid for the Children of Africa and that is important !

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 !
