Our organizing team is made up of people passionate about the world of motorsports and more particularly Rally Raid, with extensive experience in off-road events, several of them have participated in the organization of the FenekRally since its creation .
At first it was just a fleeting thought, from recurring it ended up becoming an idea, over time into a goal and finally, with desire and enthusiasm, into a dream. Congratulations, you have come to the right place, you have just taken the first step to fulfill your dream.
The FenekRally was also a thought that crossed my mind, little by little it became an idea that I couldn’t get out of my mind, it ended up being a goal until it became a dream. It scared me, but I have to tell you, if your dreams don’t scare you, it’s because they aren’t big enough. I continue to fulfill my dream and I encourage you to fulfill yours.
When I thought about the first edition of the FenekRally in 2014 I thought about its spirit, about that which never dies. Consistency, sacrifice, enjoyment, camaraderie, passion, effort… That’s what I wanted the FenekRally to be and this is what it is today 11 years later. A transversal race, in which those who compete in this unique and unforgiving challenge face a challenge that tests all their skills: vehicle control, driving techniques, orientation ability, vehicle repair capacity, mental strength, physical endurance and experience.
If this is not your first time at FenekRally, I welcome you again, this will always be your home. If, on the other hand, you are considering participating in the FenekRally for the first time, I encourage you to do so, I strongly encourage you to make your dream come true.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, you are about to take yours.
