Heat engines, the race is likely to be dangerous! Here they are again on the starting line, more than 1200 "Renault 4" for the new edition of the Raid 4 L Trophy 2010. After 13 years of existence, it became the first student event sports and humanitarian Europe! All of these young adventurers are our contemporary horsemen in their frames of iron and steel, the heart on hand armed with pens and notebooks, they go rescue the children destitute of the desert...
Indeed, if this race is held, is not only for the adrenalin or cup golden on the finish line, but rather to place core values in distress, such as mutual assistance and solidarity. Each team that participates in the raid must have accumulated at least 50 kilos of school supplies, destined for small Tots of the sand dunes. To receive, you need to know to give, and what satisfaction of a fraternal gesture for those who really need. The raid, all these small nomads have means of access to schooling or just paper and colours needed to express their gratitude, through a beautiful drawing.
Behind all this lies also an ecological purpose. The Deloitte 4 L Eco-Challenge is a competition in partnership with the 4 L Trophy, which is designed to develop a project to preserve the environment of the Morocco. In 2009 for example, it is the "Track Zero" project which won this challenge, leased a truck dump on each bivouac to harvest waste and then send in treatment plants. In final, if he had summarized the spirit of this race in a few words, this would be: solidarity, overflow, expatriation, brotherhood, ecstasy. In a week, browse 6000 kilometres, in a car in 18 years, (the R4 production stopped in 1992, except for the Brazil) with only ambition, that of happiness!
About 1200 participating cars, it takes at least 2 adventurers by vehicle, are more than 2400 students, all aged between 18 and 25 years. Marrakech and Merzouga may have a disproportionate student night fragrance... Girl or boy, faculties or schools, are all on an equal footing, only 4 L will make the difference. First, he took them find sponsors to consider participating in the race, then buy the car of their dreams and prepare it so that it can withstand the conditions of the tumultuous journey. Once ready, all participants join in Paris or Bordeaux, pass inspection, and it is left for the rush. At your... ready brands....Go! February 18, all these bumps of the steering wheel is are slender in a frenetic race and magical, to reach up to Merzouga, the doors of the desert, which will be implemented, "solidarity village". In collaboration with the association "Children of the desert" and other NGOs, 70 tons of supplies sent will be delivered to all these young people disinherited charming smile and the beguiling Ïil. February 26, all marrakchis will be invited to encourage and congratulate the participants on arrival at the red city. A great moment of emotions to share together... Supporters of the solidarity group you to honour these young adventurers to the service of the poor.
After such a feat, all will keep an unforgettable memory and their eyes will surely be transformed forever, or at least, until the next edition of the Raid, 4 L Trophy.
