The Plaza de Los Remedios in Yaiza hosted the presentation of the Ivimach Toyota Lanzarote team. The mayor, Gladys Acuña, and the Councilor for Sports, Daniel Medina, along with the teams that will be in Morocco, explained the characteristics of the race and the car to friends and fans. The mayor, Gladys Acuña, and the Councilor for Sports, Daniel Medina, wished the Ivimach Toyota Lanzarote Team success, and at the same time congratulated the only female team in the race, for which the Institution predicted a very good performance in the adventure through those inhospitable terrains in the very tough 10-hour days. The CUP 180, in its XI edition, will be held in Morocco from April 30 to May 5, 2017, during five stages and starting from Marrakech.
The Ivimach Toyota Lanzarote team is made up of Isidro Viñoly and Daniel Mesa, who are adventurers with a lot of experience in the off-road world and have been encouraged to participate again in the adventure and navigation race that is La Cup 180. Last year they achieved 2nd place overall and the team spirit award. They have also participated in several prologues of the competition, achieving first place in the CUP 180 GUADIX prologue.
The team's driver, Isidro Viñoly, with the experience of having participated in the Dakar in Argentina, will be accompanied by Daniel Mesa as co-driver and navigator, with a Toyota Land Cruiser 90 vehicle very well prepared to be able to face this type of race with guarantees; with Profender suspensions and Winch WARN tires, which can face the stony terrains and very varied tracks with guarantees. The Ivimach Toyota Lanzarote team is aware of how tough the race is and the level of the participants, so they will try to use the best strategy in navigation and good tactics in the special stages, which can determine a good result.
"LA CUP 180 is an adventure inspired by great expeditions"
LA CUP 180 is the legendary race with great experience. It is an adventure inspired by great expeditions, which the best strategists win, not those who run the most, in which a real dream will be lived. LA CUP 180 is, without a doubt, one of the most important amateur races held in the 4x4 motor world. It is a tourist expedition and adventure event aimed at motor enthusiasts that takes place in Morocco.
LA CUP 180 is not a race, rally or Raid, but rather a orientation race with all-terrain vehicles consisting of locating a series of places (WP) with the realization of the corresponding digital photograph to accredit their passage. The skill behind the wheel with an all-terrain vehicle together with the knowledge of orientation, the strategy and the tactics used will be the factors that determine the final classification. LA CUP 180 awaits you five days of discovery, driving and adventure and stages on tracks and incredible landscapes, which will be held from April 30 to May 5, 2017 in Morocco.
The Canary team will not be alone in the competition, because together with the organization of LA CUP 180 there will be a press team from the Canary Islands made up of Sergio Betancort and Angel Tolosa, who will experience each day of the race live and where they will keep all the followers informed with the best photos and what happens in each stage, both on the official website and on the websites of the different teams.
