After yesterday’s silver stage we were all delighted and pleased. Start stage was fantastic and flew with the wind in the wilderness of the race. But then it started to complicate …
Further course and conclusion of the fifth phase describes Ales as follows: “Today we were back on the Queen limit. We started as the third fastest vehicle in accordance with the results of yesterday’s stage. Start went great, new chassis settings proved to be the right way. Total 100 km after the start we got the fastest Kamaz. In a cloud of dust, it was impossible to overtake. In sandy fog for us filed another Russian Kamaz Nikolaev, who rode very well today and started over. Exactly the 156-th km special stage, however, we tore saving ventilation system, where chladíme important parameters such as servo control, motor oil and water. We had to stop. Although the car was traveling, but then we could not go on stage already. Queen would have destroyed. At this point, we have already removed the fault and the next day use option called Joker. In other words joker allows us to continue to compete with the specified penalty. So test the Queen will continue and we go on! “

Already the sixth stage and will start and finish at Astrakhan. SS “Dungeons Khazar” will run from 20% dunes, 45-sandy surface% and 35% will consist of a quick stretch in the steppes. The stage starts on solid ground on the fast track with good visibility. The route passes between the lakes and the dry-salt lakes, where the race cars can achieve maximum speed. After the first 50 kilometers, the route turns north and returns to the desert racers Astrakhan. Teams will have to pay attention to the route and put out the ruts.
The decision to embark on a race against hastily and recently completed the car without much testing was not easy. In the last game to chvill was also a possibility of the two princesses. It would certainly greater chance of a good location. On the other hand, if we want to win and be equal partners in the world’s top team, it’s not a car that has parameters and dimensions of the Queen is not a long time possible. Our team is always going to “wash” the search for the best location for a professional sports performance with thoughts of facing the future. One of our general partners Budweiser Budvar Ales Loprais chose as a person who can say “NO” . Go your own way this time meant to fight in another equally challenging level. It meant choosing to say “no” riding the confidence and also suppress in himself the most difficult for a competitor – the desire and appetite to win. We believe that this decision was right for the team and the DAKAR 2014, it will be proof.
Incredibly challenging period of preparation and the plant itself have come all the team members.Highlight deserved While everyone still can not appoint mechanics and engineers. It is remarkable with what will and the faith that acquitted. We hope that fans of our actions and understand the situation, the partners remain supportive of us and we can prove that we are worthy of it.
