This not only demands acute attention and swift navigation but also ensures they are constantly primed for the immediate challenges ahead as they race across the desert landscape.

Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge contestants race a course of over 2000km across the open desert. There’s no track, no white lines to stay within and precious few markings to denote the correct route. And you can forget GPS, the racers don’t even get a map.
