AFRICA ECO RACE A DESERT RALLY PARTNERED BY SUNREEF YACHTS

The 2020 edition of the Africa Eco Race has come to an end. This exciting rally took its participants from Monaco to the deserts of Morocco, Mauritania and Senegal for an epic off-road adventure.

 

The Africa Eco Race combines the thrill of racing with sustainability. The organizers set up the 6000km route in collaboration with local authorities to respect the natural sites.

 

To support the regional economy, the Africa Eco Race relies mostly on local service providers. The organizers also participate in reforestation actions in Mauritania.

 

An avid motorsports enthusiast, Francis Lapp, founder and president of Sunreef Yachts, participated in the race alongside the off-road racer Jacky Lechleiter from Equip’ Raid onboard a custom-built rally car, reaching the finishing line on the shores of the Lac Rose in Senegal on January 19th.
