Libya Rally goes Morocco: 16th - 23rd April 2014. It's the ultimate breathtaking desert experience.
The fastest growing desert rally in Northern Africa with 200 participants, racing Motorbikes, Quads, 4x4, buggies, SSV's and trucks. 2400 km in 7 days. (All info in French, Dutch and English available on www.libya-rally.com)
The Libya Rally is, since its creation in 2008, one of the fastest growing rallies/raids in the Sahara. As the name reveals, the origins of this rally are in Libya, the count
ry with the highest and most beautiful dunes of Northern Africa. As a result of the war in 2011 the Khadafi regime came to an end. Although the war is over now, it is still impossible to host a large international sports event in Libya, mainly due to the negative travel advise of many European Ministries of Foreign Affairs. Because the Libya Rally had become so much more than racing between impressive sand seas and canyons, the organiser Gert Duson and his team decided to hold the event elsewhere … in excile. First came two editions in Tunisia and since 2013 the rally takes place in beautiful Morocco. The scenery might have changed slightly, but the other characteristics of the Libya Rally remain the same:
1) A budget affordable to everybody
2) A rally experience for every level of expertise
3) Belgian top-catering, never seen before in the rally-world
4) perfect road books (from 2014 also available on a roll for motorbikers)
5) a high dose of fun, both during the stages as well as in the bivouac
6) a high degree of customer friendliness (an organiser who knows everybody by name)
7) daily briefings in 4 different languages.
8) and finally: a unique athmosphere where team spirit is as important as the highest place on the podium. It is precisely these caracteristics that are at the base of the success of the Libya Rally and that are responsible for the ever increasing number of participants. Also this year we offer 3 possibilities:
Libya Rally is in the first place a desert race, a time-measured rally where only the combination of a good preparation of your vehicle and errorless navigation increase your chances to win. But also for those who have no podium-ambitions or too little experience, or for those who just want to be “part of this advanture”, the Libya Rally has an alternative. The rally (rally with chrono; roadbooks)
Adventure Raid (no time criterium; same roadbooks)
Discovery (tourism in small groups & dune driving school)
