After the first day of Dakar, V. Damage shared the good news: the mechanics managed to change the clutch, the gearbox, start the engine of the MINI car, the sounds of which did not raise suspicions.
The crew, who started the rally well on the first stage, dictated the pace of the leaders in the middle of the speed section, stayed in the top three until the last point on the road, but clutch problems broke the car, and finally the MINI was forced to stop at 20 km. As we announced, Benediktas Vanagas put his helping hand, who supported the Agrorodeo crew until the end.
There were strange sounds and smells that indicated that the latter was approaching.

V. Damage was hopeful that the organizers would allow them to start from higher positions, but the team received no discount and the crew started the speed section on Monday from 36th.
“But nothing here, on Sunday Carlos Sainz started from behind and finished ahead. And here still through the dust. And on Monday our dunes are waiting for you ”, V. Žala reassured himself on Sunday night.
Unfortunately, the Agrorodeo team announced sad news on Monday: after a few tens of kilometers, the MINI engine broke down. “Unfortunately, as soon as we went out to the dunes, the engine started to explode … It was over,” the Agrorodeo team reported on the situation.
The Agrorodeo crew race ended in a few kilometers, where MINI finished its show in 2021. At the Dakar Rally.
“It just came to our notice then. But only after starting, after driving only 2 kilometers did we enter the dunes and the engine started to stall.
There were strange sounds and smells that indicated that the latter was approaching. We got off the road, turned off the engine and so much knowledge.
Until now, thoughts are still scattered at those times. You try to come up with a motivating plan, but you still need time to focus on your thoughts.
Since the beginning of the Dakar, such adventures have, of course, hit our heads, but sooner or later we will come up with a plan. Now we go to the bivouac. “X-Raid wants to see the car, what happened to him here, and then, we will see, we will present a plan,” V. Žala said on the track.
