A typical Rally Raid in North Africa! A difficult race with a classic road book covering 2,300 kilometers of special stages. Many different terrains, difficulties but an atmosphere of international camaraderie unique to the Carta Rally.
The spirit of the Carta GPS Cup is to offer all competitors a unique experience. This is neither an old-fashioned navigation event (map + compass) nor a speed event. It's not just about driving straight between GPS points and to make the least possible kilometer. You will have to plan, read the terrain,
make strategic choices to find the best options to manage your time and distance.
The GPS category has existed since the launch of the Carta Rally in 2014. After 5 years of experienceand feedback from competitors, we decided to create the Carta GPS Cup with its different categories.
We believe that the 3 categories will meet the expectations and level of experience of all participants, taking into account the type of vehicle and its preparation.
All participants of the Carta GPS Cup and Cross Country meet during bivouacs, hotels, meals, briefings, award ceremony, and will benefit from the same professionalism of our organisation team.
Come join us and share the unique atmosphere of Carta: solidarity between competitors and the international atmosphere, the Moroccan hospitality, the magical landscapes of Morocco, without forgetting its tasty cuisine!
Possibility of a GPS training by 4x4 Globe or by an experienced co-pilot in February 2019 (In February: Contact us). We will also offer an introductory GPS navigation workshop on the day of scruteneering.
For any additional information, please contact Chris Armelin at +447966207715 or by email: ca@rallye-carta.com
The most difficult category - you will have fewer GPS points per day and the terrain will be more difficult. A good knowledge of topographic map reading will be essential as well as an advanced offroad experience. That's why the requirements on your vehicle are higher.
Here are the main features of this category:
Also a category with its difficulties. You will have about the same distance to go in GPS Cup Expert, with the difference that you will be given more GPS points to validate. This makes navigation a little easier and there are not so many "surprises" waiting for you.
Here are the main features of this category:
The ideal category for an introduction to navigation using GPS, tracks, sand and small dunes. The course is better adapted to vehicles with an overlanding/expedition preparation. As well as pickups equipped with cells.

Safety has always been a top priority at the Carta Rally.
Since 2018 our medical fleet has been expanded by a helicopter. Ten physicians will be on standby on the stages should an emergency occur. These are strategically always positioned in such a way that the doctors arrive at the site within a very short time. Spot-Me tracking allows participants to call for immediate assistance in the event of technical and serious health problems. The location is transmitted via GPS position directly to the rescue or the emergency services.
Daily driver meetings are also an important part of our safety concept. These are conducted in English, French and German and provide information on all security-relevant details for the following stage.
Equipment | |
Medical Fleet | 1 helicopter, 4 all-terrain rescue vehicles |
Medical staff | 7 doctors, 3 paramedics |
Tracking | Spot-Me (Live Tracking) |
Recovery | 2 all-terrain recovery trucks |
