The weeklong event kicks of Thursday 2nd May with the prologue which will determine the starting grid for the Stages starting Friday. The hardest day of the event will be on Saturday 4th May as the teams will have to race in the morning Trophy day but will not be able to rest much as at 23:00 on the same day they have to compete in the Night Stage.

This year team AWDC Malta will consist of Colerio Race, starting grid number 240, with their modified Jeep driven by Trophy Veteran Kenneth Colerio and off-road veteran Neville Ciantar. Kenneth is in his 3rd successive Trophy. Up next are Ciappella Racing, number 241, in their Revolver Buggy driven by Adrian Bezzina and John Zammit. This is their second appearance in the trophy. Last but defiantly not least the team of Kamoy Engineering, team number 239,  with their Kamoy Buggy driven by Stefan Mallia and Alistair Caruana. All 3 teams members participated in last year's event. They will be supported by an all Maltese crew who will defiantly play a crucial role in the event.
