Motivation to keep going
The running back made no secret of the need to rethink his plans this year, and things changed again during the season for a variety of reasons. First of all, the team abandoned the plan of running in just two stages, noting that after the competition in Kelmė and Rokiškis, they gained a big enough advantage over the rivals and therefore decided to fight for the champion title.
“The opponents left us with such a points advantage that just one start would be enough until the end of the championship. However, this plan was not exhausted, as it soon became clear that starting and not ending was not a strategy. That is why, together with co-driver Andris Malnieks, we drove in Elektrinai, and now we are preparing to complete the job and start in Zarasai, ”explained the Agrorodeo team driver.
For surprises: another solution
V. Žala stated that despite the fact that such a change in plans also generated higher costs, the team does not consider skipping the last competition of the championship, because according to the rider, both after the work has been done since the beginning of the season, must be completed.
“As expected, there will be unexpected difficulties in the fall, but we will solve them. The cost of participating in the Lithuanian Car Rally Championship is considerable, but we do not want to ‘scratch’ the entire championship and in the end, whether we drive LARC or not, we do not it has a significant impact on our participation in the Dakar. Of course, it would be easier if we kept that reserve, but that’s right, we will treat these issues differently, “said V. Žala.
The tail will be cleaned less
However, although the Elektrėnai speed sections, according to the pilot, caused him to drive at a pace “at full speed”, the pilot of the “Agrorodeo” in Zarasai will try to follow the policy of caution. V. Žala explained that even though the team made no mistakes at Elektrėnai, it would be very disappointing to make mistakes during the last stage.
“I feel like now the sporty form is good enough, so even when driving from edge to edge, I don’t feel any discomfort. I understand that I am in control of the situation, because we did not make any mistakes during the entire Elektrėnai meeting, so it is positive. On the other hand, when driving in Zarasai, it must be remembered that this is the last stage of the championship and the points “brought” are essential for the final result of the season. For this reason, you may need to “climb” through your desire to play extreme sports and hold both your “tail”. On the other hand, I have made that promise before, but it is not easy to abstain, joked V. Žala.
The last stage of the Lithuanian Car Rally Championship in Zarasai will take place on October 3.
