Have fun at your own pace …
Very few of today’s motorcyclists know what a Regularity Rally is all about. It is indeed an authentic motor sport event, designed to be accessible for amateurs, yet far from a simple Sunday drive!Regularity does not mean there’s never a chance to hit the high-speeds so dear to motorcyclists the world-over. However, the focus is on pacing during a few 100 km circuits where drivers must give it their all to stay on target. Then, they can let it rip on the connecting legs where each competitor rides at the rate they like best or see fit at that time. On the clocked sectors, participants must maintain the average speed set forth based on the vehicle’s capabilities. Unlike traditional Rally Raids, the TransAfricaine is not based on a process of elimination; everything is taken into account so the race remains a challenge throughout, for everyone, without being ‘impossible’.
The ultimate goal is for everyone’s dreams to come true: reach the shores of Rose Lake. So even if you encounter mechanical difficulties or are picked up by the sweeper truck, the regulations allow you to get back into the race at any time.
