HISTORIC | Drupal

This category comes to life in 2024, offering an unforgettable adventure following in the footsteps of Thierry Sabine, behind the wheel of legendary vehicles.

The Historic category encompasses both automobiles and trucks produced between 1970 and 2007.

It is subdivided into two groups:

Classic, covering the period from 1970 to 1997
YoungTimer, spanning from 1998 to 2007 inclusive.

Vehicles in this category must have a minimum range of 500 kilometers, with an additional 10% recommended for safety reasons.

The events take the form of regularity races on courses featuring lightly sandy tracks, thus highlighting the endurance, reliability, and driving skills of the participants while providing a nostalgic experience through historic vehicles.

It is always a pleasure for the population of Menton to witness the arrival of all these vehicles: trucks, cars, buggies, motorbikes… It is also all about the human and convivial aspect of this race which races through the city of Menton.

The enthusiam and passion of the team as well as their constant research of bringing eco-responsable actions to their event, make the AFRICA ECO RACE one of the unmissable events of the Principality and we are proud to welcome them every year. We encourage everybody to buy a maximum of solar lamps provided by AMADE and AFRICA ECO RACE. More than a daily use, they will enable senegalese and mauritanian children to walk safely home after dark and will contribute to reducing the racing vehicules' carbon footprint.

We congratulate AFRICA ECO RACE for their support AMADE and enabling Mauritanian and Senegalese students to have access to solar lamps. A child with light at home, is a child able to do his homework when night comes.

For us as service-team, the AER feels like going on a road-trip with the whole family ! Together we follow the ancient African trails. Together with the complete organization of the AER we give it all to bring our teams to the legendary Lac Rose ! Being true fans of the AER we enjoy the whole concept as you find in no other race, as one of our SSV pilots reminded me, there is only one real race to Dakar !
