« For the 4th Africa Eco Race, the full team will be there ! We will have three cars and two trucks entered in the race. I’ll have a new vehicle, a Toyota developed in South Africa, an even more performant car... This year, the engine failure on the last stage in Morocco spoiled the race, so in 2012, I am determined to fight and reach Dakar in a good position. |

For "Manu", the Africa Eco Race was an opportunity last year to reconnect with the atmosphere of the great African rallies: |
Photo@Nomade-racing "It was a pleasure to rediscover the Mauritanian desert and Senegal's Baobabs ... I missed these landscapes and since 2007, I did not have the opportunity to cross some of these areas. Believe me, Africa is still beautiful and fascinating! We experienced an amazing rally with a great atmosphere, not only in our team but with the whole caravan. Conviviality on bivouacs is real! The riders have really enjoyed their race. The route is diversified and well balanced in terms of difficulty. This year we will have a strong team on two wheels, both riders as mechanics. Moreover, we can still offer some places for assistance. The entry of Pascal, with a quad, gave me some ideas ... I would love too to reach Dakar with my TRX 700 ... I still have a piece of budget to find but I’m dying to be part of this adventure! Rally raid and Africa are true passions ... " |
