Since March 31st registration has been open for the 2015 AFRICA ECO RACE, the 7th edition.
It will start on December 28th 2014 and will end on January 11th 2015. Starting from May, René METGE and Jean Louis SCHLESSER will both be all around Europe to present the race in general and of course talk about the extra stage in Mauritania. It will also be the opportunity for both rally legends to meet with the participants and share some time with them because on the AFRICA ECO RACE, human relations are essential !!

First of all to reward the participants for making their first step, but also and above all to help out the organization in terms of logistic needs. About 60% of the participants register early to benefit from the preferential rates, so don’t wait - register to get the 20 to 25% discount off the normal rates.

An optimal security: - 3 helicopters, 5 medical SUVs, 1 medical van, 1 medical centre on the bivouac, 2 balai trucks, 20 doctors, nurses or osteopaths. - Participants monitored by a satelite tracking system, in order for the Race Control to localize any vehicle in real time. - A GPS in every vehicle in order to check speeds and penalize any excess. - A well thought road book in order to prevent traps and accidents.
