After the “zero” speed section SS0 (SS – special stage) there will be a regrouping of runners. In this 10-11km speed section, athletes will no longer exercise their muscles, but will find out which one is faster.
According to the organizers, the lining SS0 is planned: gravel, there will be no sand.
Laisvydas Kancius will open the track
ATVs and motorcycles will start first at 9.55am. Lithuanian time. It is interesting that Laisvydas Kancius begins 9.55 am 30 seconds. It will be the second Dakar to cross the starting line!
10.48 val. Lithuanian motorcyclist Arūnas Gelažninkas will start SS0.
It is true that at first the modest Laisvydas was a little concerned about that; after all, you will have to open the track. However, navigation should not be complicated, since the route is gravel, without dunes.
The departure of the first car – 12.35. To avoid tricks, the pulse time SS0 will be multiplied by 4.
Prolog Start Logic
The general logic of the start of the Motorcycle / ATV Prologue is reversed. In other words, the highest start number, that is, riders with the lowest rating, starts first (every 30 seconds).
Cars / trucks depart according to the sequence of departure numbers: classes T1 / T2, then T3, T4 and T5.
T1 / T2 (all Lithuanian cars) TOP30 starts every 3 minutes. Others, every minute.
Class T3 TOP5 – every two minutes, TOP6-10 – every minute, others every 30 seconds.
Class T4 TOP10 – every 2 minutes, TOP11-20 – every minute, others every 30 seconds.
T5 (trucks) TOP5 every 3 minutes, TOP6-10 every minute and others every 30 seconds.
ASO information about speed section SS0
Failure to complete the track due to technical failures or accidents will result in an average of 25 minutes and another 10 minutes. fines. So the failure of SS0 would really cost a lot of time.
The initial numbers will become less important
This means January 3. In the morning, already at the start of the first real speed section of the Dakar, the cars, trucks, motorcycles, SxS and ATVs of the SS1 will no longer line up according to the assigned start numbers, but according to the results of the SS0.
The “zero” speed section is very important both for those who fight for the name of the Dakar winner and for those who aspire to the first goal. For example, the pilot of the Heston Airlines team, Edvinas Juškauskas, promises to drive carefully, but as fast as possible. Because a better starting position will avoid wasting time driving slower cars. It is difficult and dangerous to pass them in the dust, so you must crawl behind, waiting for a comfortable opportunity.
Agrodeo Driver Vaidotas Damage, starting at number 325, hopes to move further up the starting lineup. But it doesn’t promise much tear. Because it makes no sense to break for a short time, say in a rally speed section, when later on off-road tracks the faster rivals will start to breathe on your back and make fun of you. Therefore, according to Vaidotas, the prologue should be handled according to one’s abilities.
The “zero” speed section will be an opportunity for Carlos Sainz (MINI bagis) and WRC legend Sebastien Loeb (the new BRX team) to learn about the relationship for at least a short period of time.
Leaders boxing ring
One of the biggest intrigues of this Dakar: the nine-time WRC champion Sebastien Loeb highlights that he and his new car “BRX T1” will be Carlos Sainz’s main rivals.
“Sainz’s main opponent will be me, my co-driver and our car. If Carlos can match us, I will be happy. I hope we don’t get into trouble and try not to make mistakes while sailing. I hope we have fun,” said the Frenchman.
Carlos Sainz responded politely and even directed the idea to other competitors:
“I think the main battle will be between Toyota and Mini teams. There are many Toyota cars and only two Mini buggies in the race. During the last two Dakar, we have noticed that we have forced Toyota to improve. Fighting against Nasser Al -Attiyah will be hard “.
Loeb has started four times with Peugeot in Dakar. He was always very fast, but he experienced accidents or technical difficulties. Thus, the highest place obtained was 2nd in 2017 and 2018. The WRC legend did not end.
Sainz has won the WRC twice and the Dakar three times.
S.Peterhanselio gudravimai
Why not participate in this battle of words? Dakaras mysteries Stephane Peterhansel, who has won the Dakar 13 times?
This pilot is not called in vain lapinu. He fully understands that kicking in a speed section means nothing. Peterhansel is a strategist who foresees several steps forward. Suppose Peru 2018. After reversing the starting order, when cars (rather than motorcycles) were the first to start on the “unprepared road”, Peter Hansel specifically passed Nasser Al-Attiyah ahead on the eve to clear the road and have more opportunities to make navigation errors. Therefore, it is quite possible that when two fight, the third finally wins.
