Home / Become a Gazelle/ Participations conditions
The Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles is open to all women over 18 who hold a valid driver’s license for the vehicle they wish to drive in the event.
The competition is open to all categories of motorised land vehicles: 4WDs, quads, motorbikes, Crossovers, trucks, prototypes...
Each team is made up of two teammates.There is no "selection process" for participation.
The Rallye is for novices but it does also attract some professional drivers.
Every year, 70% of the teams are experiencing the adventure for the very first time.
In addition to having a good level of physical and mental fitness, you need to be prepared:
Navigation: The Organisation provides compulsory "Navigation" training sessions. These sessions, lasting a weekend, cover the theory and practice of land navigation.
Driving: An "off-road driving" training course (theory and practice) is required.
The Organisation can help you to choose a good training school.
Mechanics: The Rallye requires a basic knowledge of mechanics. You will need to know your vehicle, how to change a tire, use a pressure gauge and controlling the levels.
The vehicle:
* You may compete in your own vehicle. The necessary modifications are simple – don’t hesitate to ask your Team Contact for details.
* You may rent a vehicle. Renting a vehicle is the easiest option, as it is a “turnkey” solution. It will cost from 5,000 to 6,000 Euros to rent a fully equipped 4WD vehicle with insurance. Your Team Contact can provide you with the addresses of good rental agencies.
* You may borrow a vehicle: the most common scenario is a loan from a garage or a car dealer in exchange for advertising space on the vehicle.
