… at some point the decision has to be made:
The deadline if ElChott 2023 will be take place or not is August 28th, 2023.
It’s hard for me to put this in such a clear and concise way. Anyone who knows me and my team knows that we are doing everything we can to keep the myth of “ElChott – Sahararallye de Tunisie” alive, even after 40 years.
But a marathon rally primarily consists of participants, as many participants as possible. And even there we have made compromises again and again in recent years – even perceived the family character of the rally as an advantage.
How ever with 7 competitors, and not even one more in the last 3 weeks, I can’t, I don’t want and I will not organize a rally.
For all those who have already registered and prepared for the event, I would very much regret a cancellation, just like for the entire ORGA team.
So you have exactly one week to secure by your competition registration the implementation of ElChott rally 2023
And no matter what the decision will be on August 28th, 2023, nothing will change for the registered tourist participants. As planned, we will explore the south of Tunisia in the groups AC, DC and as individual tourists, stay overnight in the planned camps and hotels and experience the fascinating landscape of the Grand Erg Orientale.
