24 Hours 4x4 2010 Greece
A 24 Hour 4X4 competition event for 4x4 cars. It is held in central Greece, few kms from Athens. This is the 7th year of the endurance adventure event. It is held over two loops, each one ending with a service of 60 minutes. The event is taking place on the last weekend of November, for this year 2010 at the 27th and 28th of the month.
Last year, 2009, Borris Gadasin, World Baja Champion, took part at the event. This event was sponsored by Cooper Tyres and City of Pireas, Greece.
Rally (T1 and T2) and normal cars are accepted. Last year we had 111 competitors from 4 countries.
Total length is about 800 kms. Driving time 24 hours, non stop! Starts Saturday 12:00Z. Ends Sunday 12:00Z. The terrain consists of many types of gravel. From fast, wide roads up to difficult, mud paths and twisting mountain roads. From zero altitude, up to 1500 meters, on the rocky mountains of Central Greece. During day and night, close to the biggest night in the area, that lasts for 14 hours.
Four categories:
Raid, modified.
Normal, normal, regularity. No safety precusion needed.
Entry, just cruise with smaller average speed requirements. Three member crews.
SUV, as entry, with SUV vehicles
Foreign competitors will be our quests. They have to pay no administrative cost. Transport and accommodation can be arranged in low prices, if requested. For European competitors 4 days are enough for coming, racing, return to base. Ships from and to Italy depart every day. Athens Airport is just few kilometers from the start. Scrutinizing is held just before the race, Saturday morning, for foreign competitors.
We would like to invite you to visit our beautiful country and enjoy one of the most challenging 4X4 events ever. Greek mountains, well know from Acropolis Rally for their hardness, will be in your disposal for 24 hours. Face the challenge of driving during the night. Compete against time and fatigue, where the gods and muses lived.
