At African Desert there is room for everyone: from those who have never navigated in the desert to drivers with experience in international raids. Two categories, five sub-categories. "Compete but enjoy."
ADVENTURE
Live the desert with GPS track. No previous experience needed.
The Adventure category is open to all: no prior raid experience is required and SUVs are also welcome. You navigate with a GPS track loaded on your device, enjoy all the stages and compete with real rankings and stage times. Perfect for getting started in the raid world with full organisational support.
Sub-categories
AVT4
Adventure 4x4 — Conventional off-road vehicle
AVTT
Adventure Turismo Todo Terreno — SUV or road pick-up
Vehicle requirement
Vehicle with four-wheel drive or AWD. Valid MOT and road insurance. No special preparation required. SUVs and road pick-ups are welcome.
RAID TT
Pure navigation. The ultimate desert challenge.
For those who have already raced raids and want the ultimate challenge. The Raid TT category navigates exclusively with a paper Roadbook in FIA format. No GPS tracks for assistance. No visual references. Orientation depends entirely on you and your co-driver.
Prior experience in any event held in Morocco is required. You will face more technical passage zones and greater difficulty finishing your stages. The level of demand that separates good navigators from great ones.
