Oillibya Rally Maroc 2012

I´ve been saving up money for the last two years to do my next rally and next week I´m finally flying to Morocco. I still need to sort out how to get from Marrakech to Erfoud. Apparently there is a bus transportation to Ouarzazate available, but from there on I haven´t found anything. Can someone tell me if there is a reasonably priced option. If there is other people coming, we could share a rental car plus driver (Marrakech to Erfoud 250€ by 4x4)

You can check out my progress on the rally on: ralfmolander.com and Ralf Molander Support Group on facebook.

Cheers,
Ralf

Hi,

Your best option will be to get a cheap 2WD rental car at Marrakesh and drive it to Erfoud. Aprox 500 km, fantastic scenery.

Oh boy this is gonna be fun to watch and speculate...

I see Villadoms & Botturi listed as riding KTMs though... pity

looks like a great pre Dakar all the names are there.


We got two Saffirs there Curtis and Van Niekerk

I spoke to Jonny Aubert at ISDE he says he is not doing Dakar 2013

Check out number #35 ...........

Fish jumpin onto a husky .go fish go

Yep - that's gotta make a man proud huh CPW. Fishy's big chance is building nicely. Hope the Husky can handle his full on style! There's no ocean waves in Morocco are there?
GO FISH GO

Any reason given ???

this is one of the deepest talented feilds seen in years ,all on good machinery too ,will be interesting if the usual supects turn the heat up on the rest of the feild .!!!

i see Despres doesn't have a team mate !, what happened to Ruben Faria ,anyone know ??

I was wondering who the fourth mystery member of team SpeedBrain was, now I know. Best of luck to all.

+1 :)

Riaan Van Niekerk is on a team with Darrel Curtis (he finished 22nd last year in dakar on first time out)
There team is Broadlink Rally

They are on the factory B team, it is advertised here that Jonny Aubert is also on there team
But Jonny knows nothing about this when i asked him at ISDE

80 or so bikes and quads, but sh*t, over 170 cars, trucks and buggies on the list - could be busy :eek1:eek1

Exactly how we heard down under, right?

This should be good

JC back on a bike. Hope he does well.

Got us a Yankee in!

Go! Johnny Go!
