Join us in 2022 for the second edition of the TUNISIA DESERT CHALLENGE!
A brief introduction to this unique cross country rally.
A brief introduction to this unique cross country rally.
In 2021 we returned to the birth place of rally-raid with the TUNISIA DESERT CHALLENGE and introduced a new, epic rally-raid across Tunisia.
The COVID-19 pandemic put a lot of obstacles on our path the past few years. Almost all rallies in the world were cancelled or postponed. We too were forced to reschedule the Morocco Desert Challenge twice.
That is why we went looking for an alternative. After several meetings with a very enthusiastic Minister of Tourism, an even more enthusiastic Director of the National Tourist Office, and the passionate Presidents of the two motor sport federations, we got the necessary guarantees that a rally in Tunisia was possible. What's more, the red carpet was rolled out for our team and we received all the support we needed to work out a fantastic route.
However, our new brainchild, the Tunisia Desert Challenge, is much more than an alternative to the MDC. It will be a new annual rally-raid, which is an exact copy of the MDC in terms of organisation, but totally innovative in terms of tracks.
In 8 stages, the rally will travel through inland Tunisia along a mix of sandy tracks, gravel and dunes ... a lot of dunes. We stick to our tried and tested concept: a 2500 km long, unique, innovative and varied rally-raid, of course with almost no liaisons.
We also present a new category. The 'TDC Classic', open to rally vehicles older than 20 years, will be added to the Tunisia Desert Challenge line-up.
Of course, the Tunisia Desert Challenge will also include the tried and tested ingredients, which have been well appreciated by our participants over the years.
So hopefully we will see each other in 2022 in beautiful Tunisia
With kind regards
Gert Duson
