BE THE “GREENEST TEAM” AT THIS YEAR'S FIM AFRICA MOTOCROSS OF AFRICAN NATIONS

Motorcycle competitors have an important role to play on a variety of issues as both role models and participants. A degraded environment affects them directly in as much as it threatens their performance, health and even their lives. Every competitor and member of the service crews must be aware of the requirements of the FIM AFRICA Environmental Code and must follow a series of conditions ensuring the environmental sustainability of the race as well as a total respect for the environment. By following these basic guidelines, it gives competitors an ideal opportunity to create a sustainable legacy for future motorsport generations and inspire others to adopt environmentally responsible behaviour.
