Blending the love of driving with the ultimate challenge of precise navigation, the Adventure S-1 tests your skills over a day. It is not a race for speed, but a unique and demanding event based on the elements of headings, hidden checkpoints, time, and distance using maps, compass, and roadbook.

Inspiration:

A few years ago Stuart & Simon signed up for the Santana Trophy. 

The Santana Trophy is a tribute to rally raids like the Paris-Dakar or Camel Trophy.

It is an event made up of 7 stages (200Km) driving Land Rover’s, navigation, orientation, driving-ability tests and rescues are all part of the day to day of the event, all of this set in the spectacular landscapes of Morocco.

We have taken this event as an inspiration for Adventure S-1, bringing you a taste of experience and adventure.
