1. The 4L Trophy Raid, a sporting and solidarity adventure
The 4L Trophy Raid is a cross-country rally organised using Renault 4Ls. It brings together students and young professionals around a common challenge: to reach Morocco while participating in a charitable initiative.
For almost two weeks, the crews travel across France, Spain, and Morocco. Then, they face several orienteering challenges leading to the gates of the Sahara.
However, speed is not the main objective. Indeed, no stopwatch determines the ranking. Participants must first and foremost follow the course while limiting the number of kilometres covered.
Furthermore, a 48-hour marathon stage tests their endurance. Each team must then manage their route, equipment, and any mechanical problems before reaching Marrakech.
2. Pneus Online supports the 1183 IOSF OPTIM4L team
For this adventure, Pneus Online has decided to accompany Sybille and Lucas, the two members of team 1183 IOSF OPTIM4L.
We were keen to support this young duo in their project. Their motivation, enthusiasm, and commitment fully aligned with Pneus Online's values.
Indeed, preparing such a raid demands time, perseverance, and a great capacity for adaptation. It is necessary to prepare the vehicle, organise the journey, and anticipate the various difficulties of the route.
3. A 4L fully dressed in the colours of Pneus Online
Before the departure, we carried out the complete livery of their Renault 4L. The vehicle thus took on the colours of Pneus Online, becoming immediately recognisable on the roads and in the desert.
Furthermore, Sybille and Lucas each received two Pneus Online outfits. They were therefore able to represent the company throughout the adventure.

Vehicle preparation was an essential step. Before such a demanding journey, it is particularly important to check the mechanical components, the condition of the car tyres and their level of wear.
It is also necessary to regularly check the tyre pressure. The correct tyre pressure ensures even wear and helps maintain stable road handling.
4. Sybille and Lucas on the Moroccan tracks
Once the off they went, Sybille and Lucas headed for Morocco. As the stages progressed, their 4L covered long stretches of road before facing the tracks and landscapes of the desert.
Of course, driving an old Renault 4L in these conditions requires caution. The crews must adapt to the terrain, monitor their vehicle, and sometimes find their own solutions in case of problems.
Despite these difficulties, the duo continued their adventure with determination. Their 4L, emblazoned with the colours of Pneus Online, accompanied them to the end of the route.

5. Luke's testimony
Upon his return, Lucas shared his feelings about the experience with us:
«It’s been an incredible adventure that we’ve had. It really is an experience to be had. Driving a vintage 4L on the roads of Spain and through the Moroccan desert, without any support, has been very rewarding.".
The landscapes were magnificent, and the human adventure was just as powerful. The solidarity of the raid also gives great meaning to the project. Personally, I took immense pleasure during these two weeks. We experienced something unique!»
His testimony perfectly illustrates the spirit of the 4L Trophy rally. Beyond the race itself, this adventure is based on mutual aid, encounters, and self-transcendence.

6. An adventure we are proud of
We are very proud of Sybille and Lucas. Throughout the journey, they pushed themselves and proudly represented Pneus Online.
Thanks to their energy and determination, they saw their project through to the very end. As a result, they will undoubtedly retain many memories of this extraordinary experience.
This adventure also reminds us of the importance of a well-prepared vehicle before a long journey. To drive in good conditions, consult our Technical advice on tyres and discover the precautions to take change one's tyres.
