Am Dienstag ist nach schwerer Krankheit unser langjähriger Freund Uwe verstorben.

Vielen von euch ist er als Mitglied der El Chott – ORGA bekannt. Auch ich durfte ihn vor Jahren auf einer meiner ersten Rallyes kennen lernen.

Für die Teilnehmer hatte er immer ein offenes Ohr und im ORGA-Team sorgte er stets für gute Laune. Jederzeit zu einem Spaß aufgelegt war er immer zur Stelle, wenn andere Hilfe benötigten.

Liebe Moni, genau so werden wir Uwe in Erinnerung behalten, als den Freund, der er war.

Auf all unseren künftigen Touren wird er in Gedanken bei uns sein. Und immer, wenn wir die alten Geschichten erzählen, wird es sein, als wäre er wieder unter uns.

Jörg & Conny Schumann – im Namen aller ORGA- und Service-Teams

25/10 – 02/11/2020

Two weeks after the end of the rally the following conclusion is to be drawn:

For the organization, execution and evaluation of the rally stages there was much praise from the participants and only a few minor criticisms. For that, I especially say thanks to the great organization and service crews.

As in the years before, particular the members of the two tourist groups were enthusiastic about the experiences – extreme dune landscapes, campfires and overnight stays under the African starry sky, sights and Tunisian culture.

When choosing the routes for the special stages, it has been important for us for years to find a mixture that meets all requirements: possible to absolve by “desert newcomers”, but also demanding enough even for experienced Dakar-riders. That is not always easy. Sometimes it happens that experienced motorcyclists reach the finish after 3 hours, newcomers but only at dark.

We would like to prepare different routes for different demands – but with only 13 teams in competition (2019) this is of course no option.

And so I’m already at the point to do a first look on the next year:

To organize the “El Chott” as a real rally again in 2020, in the 39th year of its existence, we urgently need more teams in competition. Not all individual wishes of potential participants can be fulfilled. Nevertheless, I am waiting for your feedback and of course for questions, requests and suggestions of new participants.

We, organization staff, rally service teams and myself as the organizer, will do everything to offer an interesting and well-organized rally with great tracks again in 2020.

Gladly and anytime you can contact me by e-mail, mobile or on facebook.
