Morocco Desert Challenge 2020: Second reconnaissance is coming up

Throughout the month of September, race director Jean-Claude Kaket and his team (including Charly Gotlib) left no stone of the Moroccan desert unturned. Their goal was to find 8 new, challenging stages for the MDC2020, including a marathon stage and four separate dune tracks for the race trucks, in order to separate them from the cars, SSV’s & motorbikes for safety reasons.

To find almost 3000 kilometers of race track, more than 9000 kilometres were added on the counter of his faithful Landcruiser HDJ80. But the mission was successful. 

The draft version of the roadbooks is currently being digitalized and within two weeks Mr. Kaket is leaving again for Morocco for a first check, this time assisted by his best friend and top navigator Jean-Marie Lurquin (ex-copilot of Schlesser, De Villiers, etc.). I myself unfortunately have to wait until the validation round in February before I can discover his new creations.
