The Africa Eco Race has been an international " rally raid " race that has been held annually since 2009 . An FIA license for cars or FIM license for motorcycles is required. The rally mainly takes place in North Africa , it starts in various European cities and always ends in Dakar in Senegal . The organizer in 2016/2017 is Jean-Louis Schlesser and sports director René Metge . The original organizer Hubert Auriol and the later organizers see the Africa Eco Race as the successor to the Dakar Rally, which was moved to South America in 2009 . The Amaury Sport Organization issued a temporary injunction prohibiting Auriol (former race director of the Dakar Rally) from participating in the Africa Eco Race. The rally takes about 6500 km from Europe to Morocco and on via Mauritania to Senegal . The 10th edition took place from December 31, 2017 to January 14, 2018 with around 200 participants and over 100 vehicles. For the 2020 edition, 161 vehicles took part in all classes.
The race management wants to promote environmental awareness and claims to integrate responsible treatment of nature into the organization of the rally. Some of the organization vehicles are powered by solar energy, and the race participants are required not to leave any "trail of devastation" behind them. All participants receive a reusable crockery / cutlery set. In addition, you work with local companies instead of the conventional way with European sponsors.
