FIA Affordable Cross Car Project Underway in Egypt

Members news

The Automobile and Touring Club of Egypt (ATCE) has begun work to bring the FIA Affordable Cross Car to Egypt, the first country in the Middle East and North Africa region to adopt the project.

The Egyptian FIA Affordable Cross Car will be manufactured using locally sourced materials and offer accessible, entry level motor sport to people across the country. The FIA Affordable Cross Car was launched by the FIA to expand the base of the road sport pyramid and offer an accessible route for new competitors to participate in events such as rally or rallycross.

Utilising cross cars manufactured elsewhere, training has already begun in preparation for the introduction of an Egyptian National Cross Car Championship. The launch and training event was held at the El Gouna Motor Club as the manufacture of a cross car within the country progresses.

Ali Eissa, President of The Automobile and Touring Club of Egypt (ATCE), said:

“Thanks to the initiative of the FIA President and through his Development Fund, ATCE was able to introduce the FIA Affordable Cross Car project in Egypt, marking a major step forward in developing grassroots motor sport.

“This initiative will expand the access to entry-level competition, strengthen the foundation of the motorsport pyramid, and create a clear pathway for new drivers, achieving a breakthrough in enhancing, promoting and improving motorsports in Egypt; not only that but it will make it possible for ATCE to avail this low cost racing car for the local market, the countries of the MENA region and eventually the whole African continent. We look forward to seeing it come to fruition in the coming months.”
