MHon CarloPrincipality of Monaco, 24 June 2024. By now you will have understood: Africa Eco Race has generated a wave of authentic, new and saving enthusiasm
For the Rally-Raid. We too discovered it, experienced it, participated in it, relived it, and it’s like the first time, becomes one illness. The charm of Africa, which everyone must experience at least once in their life (except then get gripped by Africa sickness) to discover the magic of a continent permeated with simplicityof fairytale horizons and nature as far as the eye can see, of authentic people and real relationships. Rally-Raid was born in Africa. It’s no coincidence and there’s a reason why the Challenge Adventure calls out for the Sahara, the Ocean, climate and landscape changes. Challenge within the challenge, Africa Eco Race has taken care to preserve those characteristics of the Adventure which can revive almost intact forty years after the brilliant, romantic invention of Thierry Sabine.
Malchemy is not in the shopping cart, it’s not just in the ingredients, it’s in the way of knowing how to combine and dose them. In the kitchen it has a special aroma and taste, in the Rally-Raid in Africa it is an incomparable right and perfume, inimitable. But we need an artist in the kitchen, a creative person with talent and genius. Jean-Louis Schlesseryou must know, when he ran he was a “murderer”, he lowered his visor and did not know or recognize anyone. He is not uncommon, neither in the Champions nor in the champions. Well, after winning far and wide JL, having closed the chapter of the Champion, preserved and nourished the champion’s side. He has chosen to dedicate himself to Africa, one of his most beautiful competitive adventures, yes in love with the original Rally-Raid and created, together, the unforgettable Rene Metge And Hubert Auriol, Africa Eco Race. Which he fell in love with.
Jean-Louis Schlesser and his son Anthony who supports him in the organizational adventure he has been living for 16 editionsit became that father of the family that he forced himself to bring the children of the Rally-Raid to Africato Dakar, on the tracks of myth and legend. To let them experience the educational atmosphere, of human and inner growth of Africa Eco Race. Enough with the chatter now. The first phase of registration, i.e. the reduced rate one, closes at the end of the month. A few more days to enter the original authenticity of the Rally-Raid from the front door, from portal of the Africa Eco Race Adventure.
