The Andalucía Rally 2020:A TRUE RALLY RAID IN EUROPE

Dear Competitor,

After the cancellation of the Rally du Maroc, we have moved quickly to offer you a new Rally: “The Andalucía Rally". It will not replace the Rallye du Maroc, which will return next year from October 8th to 13th, it is about offering a quality alternative that allows you to finally get back to driving.

This European Rally is still a Rally Raid and we are working to maintain its spirit, even if we are neither in the dunes nor in the desert. The Andalucía Rally is going to be organized in record time and I would like to thank especially the Junta de Andalucía, all the local authorities and also the federations for believing in us and making it possible, even in a year of special circumstances.

All the locations and facilities we have chosen will allow you to live a new sports adventure, discover a new region of the world experiencing first-hand the Andalusian culture and history.

Many of you will be wondering about the COVID situation. I want to let you know that the Rally will take place, but that at the same time, we are not ignoring the pandemic. The region of Andalusia is proportionally the least affected in Europe, which gives us additional comfort. An Anti-Covid plan is being developed in collaboration with the Andalusian health authorities. A plan that forces us, of course, to review our working methods and organization, but a necessary plan, that enables us to live our passion. The Rally will take place behind closed doors and the route will remain under discretion since the Anti Covid plan does not allow the admission of spectators.

We are counting on all of you to make this first edition a success.

Thank you for your trust,

David Castera.

A TRUE RALLY RAID IN EUROPE
The Andalucía Rally is an authentic rally. Between 230 and 300 Km will be traveled each day with the help of the road book. The specials will not be marked, but for safety reasons, all the tracks that cross the route will be sealed with tape.
The stages will consist of a single special stage or 2 special stages cut off by a neutralization, and first raced by bikes and then by cars.
This first Andalucía Rally will not be part of the FIA ​​Cross Country World Cup nor the FIM Cross Country Rally World Championship.
