Once again this year, GNV is supporting the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles. On Saturday March 4, the 180 crews scheduled for departure will embark at the port of Sète aboard the GNV Cristal, a vessel which will cast off its moorings in the direction of Tangier for a rally through the wonders of the Moroccan desert, and a route which will find its starting point. organ with the arrival of the teams on the beach of Essaouira on March 18.
The Aïcha des Gazelles rally, a real human challenge
This 100% female rally, offering another way to mechanical competition, is a real human challenge. The goal is not to arrive the fastest, but by covering the fewest kilometers from stage to stage. To make the challenge even more difficult, the gazelles have no means of communication or navigation at their disposal using modern tools. Maps and geographic coordinates are the basic tools.
The navigation company offers crossings always in line with the dates of the rally and support before, during boarding, and on board during the outward and return crossings. The GNV teams, mobilized both on land and on board, ensure that this transfer between Sète and Tangier is the first successful and relaxing stage of the rally. The company is fully involved in this adventure by sharing with the rally the values of tolerance, solidarity and perseverance.
