B.Vanagas said that when rumors spread about the delicious coffee made by the Lithuanian team, they received more and more guests. One of them was N. Al-Attiyah, the Toyota Gazoo Racing main team driver.
Improved comfort
The Qatari driver did not skimp on advice on the niceties of driving the next-gen Toyota Hilux, and was keenly interested in the rear-view camera while inspecting the car.
“I immediately asked if we had a backup, and after hearing a positive response, I asked how much it would cost. We didn’t say anything, it was a gift for him from our team. Then he said he wanted to give me something too: pilot gloves specially designed for him. He wants to. let him try them, “said the runner.
A blind spot in a sports car, even in the back of any vehicle. B.Vanagas pointed out that the camera does not provide an advantage in racing, unless in specific situations stuck in the dunes, but it is extremely useful when maneuvering in the service space. Especially considering that the maneuverability of a racing SUV is very limited when moving slowly.
“Also, although the camera weighs very little, it is a device that provides extra comfort in certain situations. The Toyota team does not use them anyway, but Nasser is their leader and he wanted it himself, ”commented the athlete.
Gloves are like a symbol
N. Al-Attiyah also recently opened a marathon rally test site near Barcelona, where a Lithuanian was also invited to visit. According to B. Vanags, this is a place with the highest level of infrastructure, where the runners of the “Extreme E” project improve their skills. There is no shortage of Formula 1 stars among the latter.
The athlete has not yet received the promised gloves, so he does not know if he will use them in the race. We will see if they will be the right size and if they will be better than those available due to the latest applied technologies.
“I see it more as a symbol of friendship and a certain recognition. I had a lot of fun with Nasser and that is the most important thing, and I will decide to use gloves when I have them in my hands, ”said B. Vanagas.
