🧰 Recovery & Winching Regulations

Recovery is a core part of the Camel Trophy challenge. Teams must work together to overcome difficult terrain using realistic expedition techniques.

Tow ropes, vehicle-mounted winches, and hand winches are essential tools and may be used throughout the course.

Fixed winch points may also be positioned around the trail to assist vehicles in difficult sections.

🔧 Permitted Recovery Equipment

The following recovery equipment may be used:

• Vehicle-mounted winches

• Hand winches

• Tow ropes / tow straps

• Fixed course winch points

• Natural anchor points (logs, trees, etc.)

All recovery equipment should be used in a realistic and scale manner.

⚠️ Recovery Rules

• Vehicles must not be lifted over obstacles.

• Vehicles must remain in contact with the ground at all times.

• Winching must be performed as a simulated scale recovery.

This means the vehicle should be pulled through the obstacle under tension, just as it would be during a real expedition recovery.

🚫 Not Allowed

The following actions are not permitted:

• Lifting the vehicle over obstacles

• Pulling or dragging the vehicle through an obstacle by hand

• Throwing the vehicle forward past difficult sections

• Using recovery equipment to bypass obstacles completely

🤝 Team Recovery

Camel Trophy is a team endurance event.

Teams may assist each other by:

• Anchoring winch lines

• Assisting with tow ropes

• Helping position recovery equipment

However, hands must not move the vehicle forward directly.

🪵 Natural Obstacles & Aids

Drivers may use natural trail aids, such as:

• Logs

• Rocks

• Sand rails carried by the team

These must be placed realistically and transported by the team during the trail.

🐪 Spirit of the Camel Trophy

The goal is not to avoid obstacles, but to overcome them through teamwork, skill, and realistic recovery techniques.

Drive smart, recover well, and respect the spirit of the expedition.
