>   A unique concept of GPS navigation on desert tracks and off-road.

>   Between racing and raid, the Challenge requires both strategy and off-road driving skills.

>   The points (geographical coordinates) given by the organisation are entered by the participants in their GPS.

>   Navigation from “virtual” points to points (located on tracks and off-road), according to the navigation strategy chosen by the participants.

The Challenge is not easy! It takes strategy and intuition to find the best route.

>   The Challenge is to reach the end of the course each day in a given number of hours, while trying to cover a minimum of kms. Participants will have to alternate driving “tracks” and “offroad” to find the right balance between speed and distance travelled (approximately 150 to 200 km per day).

>   Daily ranking.

>   For novices, we offer theoretical and practical GPS training organized by our partners. (not included).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″]
