A Tribute to the Golden Era

Santana Trophy is a living tribute to the past—a recognition of classic Land Rover and Santana 4x4s and the pioneering expeditions that forged the legend, such as the early Paris-Dakar or Camel Trophy.

​

Six Stages of Navigation and Orientation

Aboard Classic Santana and Land Rover. Santana Trophy presents a six-stage challenge through Morocco’s most spectacular landscapes. Here, mechanical speed gives way to tactical intelligence:

​

• Pure Navigation: This is not a timed race or an extreme 4x4 trial. Success lies in orientation skills, driving precision, and the camaraderie essential to overcoming each day’s journey.

​

• Evolved Scoring System: After 12 years of refining our regulations, we have developed a system that improves year after year. We reward strict adherence to the marked route and provide bonuses for less powerful vehicles, establishing a classification where dedication and intelligence are the deciding factors.

​

Safety and Accessibility

Every itinerary is meticulously selected and verified by the organization. Our goal is to ensure that the stages are perfectly manageable for any of the admitted models, protecting mechanical integrity while rediscovering the essence of classic adventure.

A Breeding Ground for Dakar Classic

What began as a passionate project has become the ultimate school for navigation. We are proud to see teams that cut their teeth on the tracks of Santana Trophy successfully make the leap to Dakar Classic, proving that our event is the ideal training ground for high-level classic competition.
