Chers
amis sportifs et amis de l'Égypte,
ce
pays et sa civilisation historiquement si prestigieux, connait depuis
trois ans une profonde évolution de politique et de société.
Aucun
grand changement ne se fait sans douleur et l'Égypte a connu, ces
dernières semaines, des évènements intenses qui ont fait la une de
toutes les télévisions et de journaux du monde.
L'Égypte
sortira grandie de cette période très mouvementée. Aujourd'hui,
tout laisse à penser que le plus dur est passé et que la stabilité
et la modernité seront définitivement les valeurs futures de ce
grand pays.
Cela
fait plus de 30 ans que le Rallye des Pharaons, épreuve prestigieuse
de la Coupe du Monde des Rallies Tout Terrain, a pour décor les
déserts égyptiens qui comptent parmi les plus majestueux du monde.
Organiser
et participer à un tel événement international est une aventure
que nous avons et que nous voudrons toujours partager avec passion et
professionnalisme.
Nous
avons encore aujourd'hui le soutien de nos partenaires, des Autorités
politiques et militaires égyptiennes et des Fédérations
Internationales pour organiser le Rallye en octobre prochain comme
prévu. Les évènements politiques récents sont le signe que
l'Égypte pourrait déjà être prête et fière d'offrir dans un
mois une belle course à ses amis sportifs.
Mais
nous savons aussi que votre inquiétude et celle de vos familles a
propos de la stabilité du pays ne sera pas apaisée dans un mois.
Cette
inquiétude compréhensible, nous voulons la respecter et lui donner
priorité.
C'est
dans cet esprit et après concertation avec les Autorités
égyptiennes et les Fédérations Internationales (FIM et FIA) que
nous avons décidé de reporter l'édition 2013 du Rallye des
Pharaons au mois de mai 2014.
C'est
une décision difficile qui s'impose malgré nous et c'est en
travaillant avec votre soutien et en confiance que nous pourrons
continuer de partager ensemble notre passion dans les meilleures
conditions.
Nous
remercions sincèrement le Ministère du Tourisme égyptien, les
Fédérations Internationales (FIM et FIA) ainsi que les concurrents
qui nous ont déjà témoigné leur soutien, leur approbation et leur
enthousiasme pour le choix de cette nouvelle date de course.
Le
Rallye des Pharaons est vivant grâce à vous, vive le Rallye des
Pharaons !
PHARAONS RALLY NEW DATE
Dear rally friends and fans of Egypt,
Egypt, a majestic country and an ancient civilization, has been experiencing a deep transformation of its political and social life over the last three years.
No major change is painless and Egypt’s past few weeks of intense events are no different.
However, everything today suggests that the worst is over and that stability and modernity will soon be the future values of this strong Country.
For over 30 years Egypt’s magical desert has been the homeland of the Pharaons Rally, the prestigious race of the Cross Country Rally World Cup and Championship.
To organize and participate in this international event is an adventure that we have always cherished and enjoyed sharing with all the racers and their teams. Above all, we have always ensured that it is carried out with the utmost professionalism and with immense passion.
Today, we still solidly have the support of our business partners, of the local and military authorities and of the international federations, to proceed with organizing the rally as scheduled this coming October. And indeed, all signs reflect that Egypt could be ready to offer a safe setting to hold an exciting race for all international teams.
However, we also understand the concerns that participants and their families have, and we wish to respect and give priority to that admissible concern.
With this in mind and after consultation with the Egyptian Authorities and the International Federations (FIM and FIA) we decided to postpone the 2013 edition of the Pharaons Rally to May 2014.
This is a difficult decision due to circumstances beyond our control, but with your support and trust we can continue to share our passion in the best conditions.
We sincerely thank the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism, the International Federations (FIM and FIA) and the competitors who have given us their support, understanding, approval and enthusiasm for the new date.
The Pharaons Rally lives on thanks to all of you.
