Luis E. Ferrer Hernández and Pedro Padrón Cedres join the three hundred and fifty teams that participate this year, including Canarian, national and foreign teams. The Lanzarote natives will live the Panda Raid experience in a new edition returning to Morocco, which starts in Almería from April 11 to 18 as always in the impressive deserts of Morocco.

The Panda Raid, known for its spirit of adventure and camaraderie, will once again attract numerous teams from all over the world, all of them competing in SEAT Panda and Fiat Panda vehicles. Participants will have to face navigation and endurance challenges, traversing arid terrains and overcoming various natural obstacles.

Composed of six Off Road stages, with a total of 1954 km of which 924 km will be distributed in the stages, the Panda Raid 2025 offers an experience that will require precise navigation and excellent coordination between the team members, who will have to make an exercise of resistance and skill to complete the stages with the objective of crossing the finish line every night and that the camp becomes the refuge where to recharge energies and prepare for the next stage.

This year the first stage will be the longest in kilometers off the asphalt, so Panda Raid starts strong!
