As well as the mud holes and the deep river crossings will be iconic part of the extreme race. Once again, the competitors will face the legendary night stage and we can expect some new and demanding terrains.
More than 220 racing vehicles are expected under the start arch in Zagan and again the most crowded groups will be that of SSVs in the Cross-Country category as the small buggies become more and more popular in the rally-raid all over the world. There will be also strong competition in the bike class and as usual among the cars. It will be interesting in the Extreme category, where veterans and newcomers will meet both in the car and the truck classes.
