Taking a look back at the 2019 Deus Swank Rally Di Sardegna.
The 80’s myth returns. The first “African” rally held outside the continent. Upon his return from the 1984 Dakar Rally, Renato Zocchi and his brother Guido created and developed this race until it became the official qualifying test for vehicles entering the World Rally Raid Championships, such as the Paris Dakar and The Pharaon Rally. In 1987, there were over 1,000 attendees at the rally, including car and motor-cycle participants, assistants and enthusiasts, arriving on the island to follow their heroes and share with in the camping and lunches with shepherds.
In 2019, Adventure Riding in Collaboration with Deus Ex Machina re-proposed “The Myth” and it was an immediate success, with 130 participants divided in 2 categories: the tourists and the competitors, competing in special self-timed stages and starting from the Monza race track, where lot of motorcycle enthusiasts attended the first race.
For the second edition, we go back to the original formula: starting first with a special stage at the Malpensa motocross-track in Gallarate, then stopping in Genova for a second special stage.
Boarding a ferry in Genova to Sardinia, there will be 3 more stops awaiting, from 200 to 230 km each on a completely new track.
Registrations for this year's event are opening soon.
