Rally Categories

The sub categories in Rally PRO

Morocco Desert Challenge is a race, a true competition in which you enter the battle with the elements, your equipment and yourself. With 20 race trucks, 130 4×4’s, buggies & SSV’s and 50 motorbikes and quads at the start, the MDC has become the second largest rally-raid in the world.

The increasing number of entries (200 registered vehicles in the 2024 edition) not only allows us to add more sub categories but also guarantee real competition in those sub groups.
