“For the first time, it was a real opportunity to fall asleep after a long preparation for the # Dakar2021 marathon. Guess what. I have not slept most of the night, there is the law of pigs. On the other hand, nothing prevents the accumulated work on the computer from being organized. And it can be done simply by lying on the bed.
We hope to see our technicians and mechanics tonight, most likely they will be arriving late at night. We also received confirmation from the organizers that our team has been assigned a COVID test tonight at 20:00. local time. As if it should be calm, but a little doubt is still rotten. What if it was? We hold peaks. We will send you wishes from the test site ”, Antanas shared his news from the hotel where he is in quarantine on Facebook.
His car, along with other machinery, is driven to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia from the United Arab Emirates by team members who got through the formalities at the Saudi border closed yesterday with difficulty but with success.
About car dreams
Called the legend of the Dakar, A. Juknevičius recounted on 2TV’s “Girls at the Helm” where he began his career as a professional racer and when he became interested in cars, according to the show’s press release.
“I was very lucky because my father, a very skilled person, although a physicist and a mathematician, had a large, well-equipped garage in the yard. He spent a lot of time there. And I, his son, spent a lot of time with him from a very young age. This was the beginning of everything “, – A. Juknevičius will share his memories on Tuesday night’s program.

Most hope that into adulthood they will retain their driver’s license and then dream of a new car they can drive. However, this is rare, Antanas is no exception: “I don’t know if at that time someone could have had a different first car, if not for his father’s Žigulys. My father had a Ziguli, so I drove it first. It was a prelude, with two round headlights and a Fiat engine. The starting point is not when you drive while someone is sitting on the road, but when you pass a section of the road. That is exactly what I did with this Žigulis. “
And although his life revolves primarily around cars, Antanas boldly admits that he does not have the car of his dreams. At least one that is meant to be ridden every day: “The most important thing is that it takes you from the starting point to the planned point. After all, nobody likes it when a car breaks down. I think that’s the most important thing. Well, of course, comfort, but everything according to human needs. “
However, racing is something else, here we are dreaming, A. Juknevičius dreams of a racing car, which he needs to achieve ambitious results. “The race is a next generation MINI X-Raid,” said the outspoken Dakar legend.
At the beginning of January, A.Juknevičius and D.Vaičiulis will start Toyota Hilux cars in Dakar. In the last race, they ranked 20th.
