A marathon rally in the desert is always a big challenge – for everyone.
Reports of participants about not-ending daily stages, almost non practicable navigation requirements, house-high dunes and non drivable soft sand describe the adventure.
We want to enable this adventure even for rookies and off-road riders without desert experience. For this we have had at the rally El Chott already some innovations:
- exit possibilities during especially long stages or before particularly difficult terrain sections
- the introduction of the Discovery Class – navigation training, exercise in using the road book and dune driving school
- the individual times to reach the exit became part of the daily ratings
- PowerWeek as “Rally Light” with half of the total distance
And for 2015 also, we have planned something new: Rookie Challenge
In the RCE vehicles will participate which comply to classes E1/E2/E3/E4. And in the RC4 participants are summarized with vehicles of categories BU/CS/CM/CP/TL.
In case of bigger interest, and a larger numbers of participants, we would divide the RC-classes in the future according to the classes of the rally regulations.
