Rally-Raid

Rally-raid is the generic term for long-distance or cross-country rallies. Unlike traditional rallies, these are not only held on roads and tracks, but mainly in open terrain. Participating vehicles are: Cars, side-by-sides, motorbikes, quads and trucks.

In the car category, the crew in the vehicle consists of two people: the driver and the navigator. The crew does not know the course of the route in advance. The co-pilot navigates on the basis of a roadbook, which shows the way by means of distance information, arrows and symbols.

Dakar Rally

The Dakar Rally is the most important long-distance rally and is considered one of the last great adventures of mankind. It was held for the first time in 1978 and took place on the African continent until 2008. However, it had to be cancelled at short notice in 2008 due to terror warnings. The Dakar Rally then moved to South America in 2009. Since 2020, it has been held in Saudi Arabia.
