Heroes Legend 2008, is many innovations that will open more categories to enter this adventure, and  make the dream come true: reach Dakar on your bike or in your 4X4  along a “legendary route” that made more than one of you  dreaming. Heroes Legend is made for those who are looking for adventure, those who want to defy the desert and live this adventure riding a motorcycle or driving a 4x4. This raid is a response to most “professional” races organised today, which have become financially unaffordable and physically insurmountable for an amateur pilot.   A response to all those have told themselves one day: “Some day, I will go to Dakar by motorcycle!”    Pro driver or beginner, enthusiast or amateur, Heroes Legend is done for you, by you! The different spirit of “Heroes legend” is your team. Your goal is to get your team live. Your team exists, make it live.   It’s you who, is behind the name of your team. Your team is your strength.   Heroes Legend 2008, is still a team, one team, a name of a team. Your team has a goal, reach Dakar. Your team has an other goal, your classification. Which one is the most important for you? The overall classification?, The classification by type of bike, or car?, by sex? They are all important for you, but you will choose the one you want!

The classification is done by your navigation, the road book that you try to follow, but it is done also by the average speed that you try to match, but the difference is that you choose your average speed! The average speed, not the speed!!!.

The average speed that let you ride like you want, or drive like your car can go, giving you time to share the good moments with your friends, your team, your family.

The route is done to let you discover the “African tracks”, smooth in the beginning so you can take your time to learn, with several sections per day to let you change with your team. The route is fast (sometimes), technical (it has to be!), crossing sand dunes (once upon a time…), crossing oasis, but always beautiful landscapes,  360 ° of pure pleasure everyday!
