Rallye Aicha des Gazelles
edition March 2012
This is the first female rally in the world, created over 20 years ago.
It lasts 10 days, 8 of which in the Moroccan desert. It’s not a question of going fast but of taking the shortest way possible, without GPS, the old fashioned way with a compass and a map. It's about both self reliance and solidarity with the other participants. When our 4 wheel drive got stuck in the sand, we got the shovel out and helped by other “Gazelles”, we dug ourselves out .
But it's also a COMPETITION. And a tough one, both physically and mentally.
Most of the 'gazelles' are not profesionnal rally drivers nor super women, just determined women.
