This action will leave traces – more enduring as the traces of the rally cars in the desert sand. “Racing AID”, the name of the private initiative of several actors of the German motor sport scene, organized aid-convoys into the south of Tunisia for the refugees of the Libyan civil war. -> read more (German language)

The field of participants for the ElChott 2011 is up today filled with nearly 20 jeeps, 10 motorcycles and five cars in the tourism group.

And with the 10th Enduro registration, we now have the first lady at a motorbike, next to a lady as pilot in the standart car-class, the second lady who is self driving a vehicle.

At the end of the rally during the price giving ceremonie it will give definitely a trophy in the category of “Fastest Lady “.

The hotels are booked, the routes are fixed, actually, it could start tomorrow. But I’m sure, the teams have still to do some preparations, mostly up to the last day. And I also have still an important obligation:

In early September I will participate with my truck in a further aid convoy to Tunisia by “racing aid”. All details here: www.racing-aid.de

So, who wants to help yet, now is the chance.

And when I’m back from Tunisia, during our pre-meeting at the Hotel “Eisenacher house” at 24th of September, I’m able to present you not only rally informations in detail but also the latest informations from our host country.

The 4×4-audience in Italy will informed about the Rally ElChott with the help of our partner HDP 4×4 Racing Team. All important information such as regulations, entry fees, expiration, etc. are now in the Italian language available online. And there are already results: Two 4×4 teams, some enduro-drivers and even the Italian motor sport press have announced their participation.

The Abenteuer & Allrad 2011 is finished.

Together with our partners RM Rallyetec and Explona we welcomed many friends and participants of the rally ElChott on the stand. There were talks about the status of the rally planning but also about the current situation in Tunisia. We could again arouse the desire of some OffRoaders to learn where are its limits in the vastness of the Sahara. Now also it will give in 2011 some “ElChott – first-time offenders”. Thank you for the trust placed in us. We promise that the entire rally organization will do everything for the success of the event in November.

Our very special thanks goes to POLARIS and Allrad Service Schneider (ASS). With the help of this companies, the announced project ORMS-rescue quad is already extended to two years.

A very well-attended exhibition is finished successfully. Not at least because of the tireless helpers at our booth: Thank you very much for it.

In the remaining four months until the start of the ElChott 2011 a lot of work is to do. We shall now concentrate all our strength for this.
