According to Kreda co-driver Darius Vaičiulis, no major challenges are planned on the track on Wednesday.
“It just came to our notice then. No big challenges are promised, no big dunes or rocky off-road complexes. As the organizers comment, pure racing pleasure.
It seems that the speed section does not provide and forced 20 min. break: according to the regulations, if the speed section is greater than 300 km, 20 minutes is mandatory. rest stop. Of course, one cannot relax, mistakes in Dakar are costly, both in terms of time and position in the results ranking, and financially.
Slightly slower winding gravel stretches are inserted into fast, sandy stretches, stretching valleys, canyons, dry riverbeds.
Short and complex stony crossings, dune chains, plateaus are involved, where the greatest challenges in navigation arise. Sand will account for about 65 percent. road surface speed section, 30 percent. – soil, 5 percent. – dunes. Apparently the dunes will be only about 10-15 km away. The stones, as they belong to Saudi Arabia, will be used everywhere.
A very fast speed section is waiting, the winners will finish in just over 3 hours “, – D. Vaičiulis spoke about the track on the fourth day of the rally.
