News from the team

They are climbing the mountains of South-west Morocco at the moment, at their latest sms they were close to the town of Tazenakht. Today’s finish is in Tata, still 350 kms to go.

The Ikarus is struggling with the windy and rocky mountainous roads. Today they were officially announced to be the slowest vehicle in the race. They manage to go at an average 35 km/h in the mountains. This doesn’t, but the Polski’s 75 km/h average bothers the team, as they tought they could at least compete with the Polski.

Good news that the servicing in Almeira seems to have been successful, as the spirit is high not only because of the fantastic team, but because of the working xbox as well. Moreover, we should give some credit to the good old Hungarian pálinka and beer in here, which are followed with long siestas in the back of the bus.


I'm sure Akos would add some must knows about the Moroccan roads: there are many Moroccans on it and everything is in Arabic. Or in French? Are there any boards at all? And are there cars on the roads at all?
