From the 4th to the 13th of May, in the footsteps of the Shamrock!
Organised by the AIO France (Amitiés Internationales Organisation), the magnificent Raid de l'Amitié is now the second most important rally after the Dakar in the number of participants.
More and more competitors take part in each edition to discover the desert and join the AIO in this human adventure. Technical and navigational skills are needed for this raid; the only support is a road-book and a Sat Nav. There is no clock but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a competition. There is still the desire to win but in a friendly atmosphere, which is the concept of the raid! (source: AIO France)
