Sarah Gaudry and Marie Gillet, two French women who call themselves the 'Nénettes en 4L', are preparing to take part in the 4L Trophy, a humanitarian rally that crosses the Moroccan desert. The event, open to students and young adults, requires participants to drive a Renault 4L and deliver school supplies to children in Morocco.
The 4L Trophy is an annual adventure that combines sport, solidarity, and discovery. Each crew must carry at least 50 kg of school equipment, which is distributed to local associations upon arrival. The rally covers thousands of kilometres, mostly on off-road tracks, and tests both the vehicle and the team's endurance.
Gaudry and Gillet have expressed a mix of excitement, pride, and apprehension as they prepare for the challenge. Their participation highlights the growing presence of women in motorsport and humanitarian rallies. The duo has been training and fundraising to cover the costs of the vehicle, equipment, and registration.
The next edition of the 4L Trophy is expected to take place in 2027, with hundreds of teams from across Europe. The event has raised millions of euros in donations and supplies since its inception in 1997. For the 'Nénettes en 4L', the rally represents both a personal challenge and a chance to make a difference.
