The stages
Among the new features of this edition, is the exhilarating course!
"A first stage negotiating the pitfalls of the Moroccan desert and perfect for getting into the swing of using the GPS, driving on sand and over the dunes.
A special second stage of mega sand dunes, the ones that scare you but give you such a thrill...
The third stage is even longer and in the sand. It’s going to be a late finish for some of the competitors.
The fourth stage will be devoted to the dunes, more dunes where do they find them!
The fifth and main stage guarantees adrenaline and more. More what? More sand!
And in the evening a memorable awards ceremony!"
