today.</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td class="GalerieAlbum">The Rally got off to a wet start today as rain showers and high surf surge momentarily disrupted the technical inspection and the participants scrambled in search of higher ground. Once the nature cooperated the inspections concluded smoothly with all registered vehicles admitted to the rally. The large crowd attending the nightly briefing served as a reminder of the tremendous growth this event has experienced over the last four years. It was especially great to see all the familiar faces from years past.

Tomorrow Stage 1 gets underway with a short prologue starting at 8AM following a liaison to Taourirt in Morocco. The five-hour ferry trip from Almeria to Nador provides a final opportunity to rest and socialize before the hectic pace of competition begins on the African continent.

Stage #1: Almeria - Taoirirt

Day: 01
Date: Jan 20, 2014
Route: Almeria - Taoirirt
Length: 130km
Country: Spain - Morocco
Character: Warm up stage, no competition.


Stage 1 started at dawn with a short prologue in Almeria designed to give all competitors an introduction to the start procedure, navigation and timing used throughout the Rally. Based on preliminary reports everyone has completed the prologue successfully and no penalties were assessed.

Once all the rally vehicles assembled in port we boarded the vessel to sail us over the Mediterranean to the Moroccan city of Nador. Despite the beautiful weather the sailing was rather rough as the ship labored through large swells and choppy seas. After landing and clearing the customs everyone proceeded to tonight’s bivouac in Taourirt just in time for the 9PM briefing.

.: THE INTERCONTINENTAL RALLY ROUTE 2014 :.

​

Let's talk route selection for 2014! It is a well known fact that for as long as men have raced to Dakar the deciding stages took place in Mauritania. It is a stark, cruel landscape which punishes mistakes and only reveals its inherent beauty to those who approach it with respect and humility. The preliminary route for next year includes 3 long and challenging stages through Mauritania which will almost certainly determine the winners. The stage to Atar is a classic route following the iron ore train tracks east. The next two stages will traverse dune fields and blast along rocky desert pistes. They will test endurance and skill and sheer will to persevere in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. Are you up to the challenge?

The timed route descended from a table top plateau down dried up seasonal streams onto the rocky plain bellow finally culminating with a dune top finish short distance from the comforts of the camp. There were a number of accidents and mishaps, fortunately all without injuries and with everyone in camp in time for supper but nevertheless serving as a reminder to take it easy and stay safe. The spectacular scenery will continue tomorrow following a renown route to M’Hamid.

The racing actions heated up in both car and motorbike classes. While there were no crashes, several teams suffered breakdowns and the local garages are busy performing emergency repairs well into the early morning hours. After 3 days of racing the fatigue is starting to set in but spirits are high and the camp abuzz with anticipation of the days ahead.
