La troisième étape de l’Africa Eco Race s’est disputée aujourd’hui entre Tagounit et Assa, sur un parcours total de 514 kilomètres, dont une spéciale chronométrée de 440 kilomètres. Une longue étape éprouvante, alternant pistes rapides et cassantes, dunes de l’erg Chegaga et secteurs très empierrés en fin de parcours.
The second stage of the Africa Eco Race took place today between Boussaïd and Tagounit, covering a total distance of 425 kilometers. Although this is the second stage of the rally, today marked the first timed special of this edition, as the stage initially planned yesterday was canceled due to winter conditions and snow.

You dream of dunes and beautiful landscapes, follow us to the Lac Rose !
René METGE
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.
Kate & Didier - STARS'N'BARS
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.
Jérôme FROISSART - Directeur AMADE Mondiale
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 !
