“We have worked very hard on the development of RAZR RAID+ and on building a solid technical program capable of supporting teams at the highest level. Being present at the most important events in the world is a natural part of that evolution.

We have been working for some time with Nicolás Cavigliasso, a natural ambassador of his country and a leading figure in international rally raids. Being present on his home soil was a clear objective. We especially value the effort made by Desafío Ruta 40 organization to create this concrete benefit for the teams.
