Africa for you

19/10/2014

Africa is beautiful, a ride with your vintage car is a dream to be realized within a year. There are two events both scheduled for the October 2015. The first has the signature of Philip Young (four Beijing-Paris, Around the World in 80 days, more than 60 long races...); the second one is organized by Burt Rietbergen, a Dutchman that after a Peking-Paris in 1997, lived as competitor, had the inspiration to change role. Now organizes events that are really tailored to the participants. His next Safari has starts and finishes in Cape Town after an extensive tour to Namibia, Victoria Falls, the great parks of Botswana and the wonders of the Golden route. Three weeks, 9,000 km race, 27,500 Euros which include everything, also the transport of the car. If you do not want to participate with your car taking it to the extreme southern point of Africa, Burt will make available - at the same price - a 4x4. Young has Madrid as a starting point, and after the dive towards Gibraltar, includes a dozen days of full immersion in the Sahara, touching all the mythical paths to the dunes and the Atlas Mountains. The grand finale to Marrakech and the possibility for Italian crews, to take the ferry for the return Tangier-Genoa.
