Dakar Rally 2014: Buggyra Dakar-Tatra – “This is a long-term project”.

Some days before were marked for motor sport fans, among other things, with premium testing of the Buggyra Tatra 815 Dakar truck, with which Martin Kolomý will present himself at the Dakar Rally 2014. The testing took place on the proven circuit in Senica, Slovakia. The relevance ascribed by Buggyra to the joint project is evidenced by the fact that the team sent David Vršecký for the testing.
“We have agreed that in addition to comments by Martin Kolomý David´s view will certainly not be out of the question, as the latter may have different opinions on many things,” confirmed technical director of Buggyra Robin Dolejš. At the same time he revealed that in Senica brand new original components will be introduced, not yet used in truck development. “We are known for our avoidance of frequently trodden paths. If we had trodden established paths Tatra would hardly have invited us for the cooperation.“
Managements of both parties agreed before the beginning of the testing that they found themselves in an unusual situation. On the one hand a brand new truck, i.e. a prototype, and on the other the objective of defence of the Dakar positions won by Martin Kolomý in the past.
