Information
After the huge success of the first two editions, RallyClassics Africa returns in 2025, having become the benchmark preparation rally-raid for the Dakar Classic and Africa Eco Race. Six of the top 12 teams of the 2025 Dakar Classic participated in RallyClassics Africa, including the winners of both events, Carlos Santaolalla and Jan Rosa!
The rally-raid maintains a five-stage format through the Erfoud and Merzouga regions and introduces several new features, such as the optional regularity and navigation course on the 11th, a Desert Test on the 12th to test vehicles and equipment, new Dunes Test trophy (for the best team on the dunes) and the trophy for the best local team, and much more!
The total route is approximately 1,000 km, combining regularity stages and dune navigation, always true to the RallyClassics philosophy: competitiveness, safety, and fair play for all.
