Dakar 2015 – Summary info #1

Already yesterday, the Tatra 815 Buggyra Fat Boy , which will be driven by Martin Kolomý , passed administrative and technical inspections. The car is now located in a closed parc fermé where no one can access it. Meanwhile, the Argentine ambassador visited the team's facilities. Even this year, the organizers did not build a ramp for the ceremonial start that would support the weight of the truck. "Once they make a stage for trucks as well, Robbie will have something to look forward to," Tatra pilot threatened the hypothetical American showman Robbie Gordon.

The acceptances for other Czech cars also took place without any problems. " It turned out that we spent the main part in Le Havre. Here in Argentina, they only installed electronic systems for us, such as iritrack or navigation. " Reported by the pilot of the yellow LIAZ, Martin Macík from the KM Racing team . " Fabien Calvet's part of the check-in was already fine, he knows our car very well. His colleagues conducted only a formal inspection of helmets and racing clothing. This must be certified and the organizers will always be uncompromising on this issue. "

The Bonver Dakar Project is now complete again, when the second half of the team members arrived in Buenos Aires . The cars were admitted without any problem and taken to the parc fermé. "We have everything ready. I hope it will be the same when we go to show up on the ramp and introduce ourselves to the world. We're all looking forward to finally starting and being able to show what we've done this year," added team boss Tomáš Vrátný .
