Andrea Rastrelli, AC50 pilot, is standing on pegs of his rally bike with throttle fully opened. A glance at the Road Book, after the last dune, a drift on his left and back on the throttle. Every meter is a step into an unknown territory. The essence of challenges and adventure. He seems lost into those huge void spaces but in his mind, the final destination is clear: Dakar.

There are persons that, when it comes to dreams and passions, show the curious child that is in all of us. Andrea’s passion for motorsports, bikes and adventure knows no limits and it has bring him in the AC50 project. This time, sand is not waiting for him, but a long road toward North for something never tried before.

On the 10th June 2023 he will close the visor of his helmet.
It will be the beginning of a dream, where a vision will became reality.

“Men or women wanted for a long journey. Constant cold, heat, wind and rain. Long riding hours. Return only after thousands and thousand miles with, we hope, a World Record in our pocket”.
