It is better to attend a training session to enjoy the rally as much as possible
We wish to make the Trophée Roses des Sables accessible to all the women, beginners or experts. That is why we organize training programs to learn how to drive and navigate in the château de Lastours, France. The coaches also come to visit you in your regions.
In Quebec, driving courses are offered at Outdoor Logistik and navigation learning sessions are organized by the adventure advisor.
A training weekend to learn how to drive and navigate
In the heart of Languedoc, few kilometres away from Narbonne, the château de Lastours welcomes the driving and navigation training weekends. This wonderful playground where to learn the basics rally driving skills is where many famous rally pilots train (quad and 4WD). With more than 90 kilometres of tracks, this property offers ideal conditions to learn how to drive in different situations (hard, soft and rocky ground). During two days, you will benefit from the advices of expert drivers and members of the organization and you will receive a complete training: driving, navigation and basic mechanical training, 92% of the teams who participate in the trainings cross the starting line of the rally.
