15th TRANSMAROC is postponed in Autumn : from 6 to 12 November, 2023! Discover the Morocco with Patrick Zaniroli!

A precursor in the practice of Regularity in Rally Raid, Patrick Zaniroli, creator and organiser from 2005 to 2008 of the TransAfricaine Classic, reserved for old cars and buggies having raced in the Dakars of the 80's and other rally-raids of yesteryear, launched at the same time, the Transmaroc, which immediately became the ideal school for those wishing to enter the Dakar. It has become even more so today for those who plan to enter the DAKAR CLASSIC.

Thus, each year, we have several crews come to learn navigation and regularity on tracks and dunes.

New: the ZRs will all take place on tracks, the dunes being reserved only for liaison, without the constraint of the stopwatch and all for the pleasure of savouring the majesty of the place. As a result, the Experts and the Beginners will be able to be united in a common general classification, while each defending their own category.
A forerunner in the practice of Regularity in Rally Raid, the Transmaroc is the ideal school for those who plan to enter the Dakar Classic.

Morocco is like a second garden! And to make your adventure even more exceptional, a theoretical course in navigation and orientation will be offered on the Saturday of your arrival and the practice will start the next morning. When you arrive at the dunes, we will help the novices by giving them our best advice on how to cross them, while coaching them to get there.

The TransMorocco is both a raid in the form of initiation size, for some, or a rally on a short format for others. To all lovers of Africa that gigantism no longer seduces, we propose a hike on a human scale in one week in Morocco.  To all, more and more numerous, looking for something else, it offers the opportunity to realize their dream.The Trans Morocco is a school of Rally Raid at the rate of regularity, from stony tracks to sand dunes, where discovery and friendliness are the rule.
