An original summary by Rallye Sirocco
RIM News publishes the Rallye Sirocco launch release on 12 October 2026, extending its circulation to readers in Mauritania. The French-language page retains the announcement’s structure, including its explanation of regularity, the journey through Morocco, the integrated participation package and the event’s humanitarian commitment.
The opening presents a first edition scheduled for December 18–23, limited to 15 crews and organised on a non-profit basis. It describes a 1,035 km itinerary from Marrakech to the edge of the Sahara. The sporting section explains that crews work towards prescribed averages and scheduled passage times, with precision and cooperation taking priority over speed.
The route follows mountain roads, desert gateways, the Drâa Valley and the heritage of Aït Ben Haddou. The published text then outlines the MG ZS Hybrid+ package, Sirocco Tracker on Teltonika hardware and Sirocco Map, while keeping regularity timing and standings distinct from tracking. Its humanitarian section identifies 323 student beneficiaries, divided between M’Hamid El Ghizlane and Aït Ben Haddou. The closing names AJMF and ASACM as organisers, MG as Title Partner and the supporting associations. This record documents the publication of the official release, with an original summary supplied here by Rallye Sirocco.
