A 9 day off road driving event covering some of southern Morocco’s most challenging terrain started last week on Wednesday 17th. Drivers have to navigate their way through a challenging course without the use of ultra modern navigation equipment; GPS, mobile phones and even modern maps.
The event is the only all-women off road rally in the world, and this year all 110 teams, from 14 countries, passed the vehicle inspections at the ceremonial race start in Sete, France.
The event legs combine strategic driving skill with a keen ability in navigation. Race participants range from celebrities to Olympic athletes taking on another challenge. The event is expected to finish on Saturday the 27th March.
