However, not everyone has a procedure like a pipe. Antanas Juknevičius, the Kreda team rider, is delighted that this year the competition stewards are much more strict and stick to things that did not matter to them before.

“It just came to our knowledge then. I say, listen brother, here is a four-year-old car, all those years have been good for you, and now for some reason you want to move the antenna 20 centimeters to another place,” said the athlete.

The smile did not adorn the face of Vaidotas Žala, leader of the Agrorodeo team. The first formalities were completed very quickly: the athlete turned in his clothes, they met the requirements and the car safety team did not ask the commissioners questions.

The problem began with the verification of the technical condition of the car. First of all, the Commissioner was not convinced that not all stickers were affixed to the Lithuanian mažylis, there were no state license plate stickers. By gluing them together, the problems did not end.

It turned out that V. Žala knows the judge as famous for his special rigor.

“Yes we shut up about the gray judge, nothing fits here, he said, call me when you finish, “replied the runner, emphasizing that the gray-haired competition commissioner is especially cautious and demanding, without losing sight of any detail.

It turned out that the race commissioner wanted to do something that is rarely done: measure the diameter of a turbine governor. To perform such a procedure, it is necessary to work on and disassemble a number of components in the car’s engine compartment as necessary.

“It was much easier last year, this year it began to hang. Now we have to wait for the tools because here nobody destroys those cars. Even more so since last year, that restriction was sealed”, V. Žala was surprised, waiting for them to Team members will bring the tools from the truck left at the bivouac and can do what the competition commissioner requires.

The start of the Dakar Rally, an 11 km long section called the prologue, awaits all race participants on Saturday, January 2. January 3 You will have to descend to the first section of several hundred kilometers. Dakar ends on January 15.
