As Chaouech said, this rally is considered as a real one, where there will be in ground the needed,  professional, logistics such as: cars, motors and tracks. That is to say, safety measures are taken into consideration and that’s what makes it an important event. As it represents the second-largest race in the world following the Parisian one. She highlighted that it’s such an honor for Tunisia to host and cover a global rally. As the participants are definitely going to promote a good image of our country.
