The Sabinar Raid UMH team, formed by engineering students of the UMH, and the MARQ have renewed the collaboration agreement signed last year between the University Miguel Hernández and the MARQ Foundation to face the 2018 edition with great enthusiasm. An adventure that began in October 2015 with a double objective, to help the neediest children and enjoy 5,000 kilometres behind the wheel through 7 stages of the Dakar, one of the most exciting races in the world. An adventure in which the UMH participated for the first time in 2017.
The rally will be presented on 22 February at the headquarters of the Miguel Hernández University of Elche, one day before the expedition departs for Algeciras, where the competition will officially begin.
This year, Borja Gallud and Alfonso Ases, drivers of the Seat Panda, have been joined by two other brave drivers, Thomas Potton and Antonio Alcaina, who will cross the Sahara Desert aboard a Nissan Micra. A group of young people with a spirit of solidarity, ready to successfully overcome the UniRaid 2018 challenge.
