24 H. Off Road: victory for Vigouroux

“Today, the organizers offered us a beautiful course, in a superb western setting. There was just enough wind to blow away the dust. Alex and I were in Olympic form, and the car ran like clockwork,” explained Eric Vigouroux, who was constantly leading the 12 laps of this final six-hour heat. In the general classification, the Trophy Truck Chevrolet finished well in the lead, six laps ahead of the Protruck of Lansac-Davoy-Skilton and ten laps over the Predator of Charbonnier-Pinchedez.

“At the start of this race, all the conditions were in place to win,” continued the Chevrolet driver. “Even if the field was not large in quantity, the competition was serious. We experienced no problems, stopping only for ??hickenmarks?? obligatory five minutes, and we suffered no punctures. During the 22 hours of racing actually completed, we rode at a real pace of rally-raid". The perfect reliability demonstrated by the Trophy Truck at the 24 Hours Off Road only deepened Eric's regrets, who missed a possible podium two weeks ago at the Tunisian rally, following a power problem. transmission.

After this week in Morocco, concluded in a victorious manner, Eric Vigouroux will return to his Californian home, where he has lived for two years. From there, he can supervise the construction of a new vehicle based on American mechanics, which he hopes is even more efficient than the Trophy Truck, and which he intends for the next Dakar and the rounds of the World Cup of Rally Raids. ?
