The vehicle
The Aventura Cup is a MONOTYPE 4x4 rally. This means that all the participants compete with an IDENTICAL vehicle: a NISSAN Patrol.
After the draw, the 4x4s will be available on arrival at the hotel.
The 4x4s are recent 6 cylinder petrol models; with powerful 240hp engines. They’re tough and perfectly adapted to desert and dune driving.
