The Africa Eco Race was born in 2008 through the collaboration of men who have made history in the greatest off-road rallies: Jean Louis

Schlesser, Hubert Auriol, and René Metge. Since then, the ‘MONACO – DAKAR’ has connected two continents, from Europe to Africa, culminating on the shores of the legendary Lac Rose in Dakar.

Africa, the legendary land of rallies, was the perfect continent to highlight the true essence of this discipline: conviviality, authenticity,

solidarity, and sportsmanship. To ensure that the greatest number of competitors could reach the mythical Lac Rose in Dakar, the Africa Eco Race adjusts the participation regulations. Everyone can thus follow in the footsteps of the legend Thierry Sabine.

This 2025 edition covered over 6000 kilometers in 15 days.

The Africa Eco Race is the only rally in the world to cross several countries.
