[QUOTE="GEO_DXB, post: 1816626, member: 46544"] Thought we could have a thread on rallies other than Dakar/Dakar Series and World Cup. Had this one arrive just before Xmas: [B][U]Algeria Rally[/U][/B] [URL]http://algerally.com/algerally/?lang=en[/URL] Just my 2 cents on what can be good and bad: Pro's: Around Algeria, which is smth different. Should be scenic from what I remember Promise of minimum liaisons Not too expensive 150km autonomy for bikes and quads so maybe similar to that for SxS? Grand Erg!!!!! Con's: Ran just around Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge... REALLY???? Algeria. Not the safest places these days IMO If you don't speak toad you're in trouble Organized by Italians (nothing personal, but from all my experiences they highly disorganize anything and everything). Again, only IMO. New event, so expect some things not to work right from the start. [B][U]Morocco Desert Challenge [/U][/B] Celebrates 10 years this year... ex-Libya rally [URL="http://www.morocco-desert-challenge.com"]Morocco Desert Challenge[/URL] Pro's: No liaison!!!!!!!!!! Nothing, zip, nada. Just race and arrive to the bivouac finish every evening, how cool is that. Morocco - so civilized enough Organizers are well-known and Marc Coma is part of the team All I heard was bivouac is nothing short of amazing Catering is real good They have alcohol... COLD BEEEEEEERS!!! and since organizers are Belgian.. Its Belgian!!! Older event so all rough edges polished out Real good turnout A lot of offers for rentals, services etc... Various race classes so you can choose your weapon Cons: Not cheap Morocco again... You should speak frog. Maybe even its Belgian penguin variety... End of April - can be tough to get vehicles around from other events... Return logistics are a bit complicated Massive turnout and empty spots go real quick Pain in the ass Moroccan customs Will continue with other rallies later [/QUOTE]
