South Africa’s DAKAR 2018 Rookie Award champion, Hennie de Klerk, is counting the days to the Morocco Desert Challenge, taking place from 13 – 20 April 2019. He will depart for Morocco today (5 April), while his rally car along with all its accessories and spare parts, have already been shipped in a container to Spain, where Hennie and his team will collect it early April. From there, they will depart to Agadir in Morocco, approximately 1,200 kilometres from the port, where the official MDC scrutineering will take place to ensure that all vehicles meet the technical regulations.

Hennie commented, “This will be our first Morocco Desert Challenge, and from what we have heard it is very similar to the DAKAR. We think that the experience and knowledge we have gained during DAKAR 2018 will help us in MDC as we are very excited about the race. We hope to make South African spectators and followers proud.”
