Dakar2015Huzink

In this year’s Dakar, Tatra’s top team of Ales Loprais, wasn’t able to ready its nosed Tatra truck in time. He will be driving a MAN instead for the Dutch Vega team. Tatra drivers with a chance to finish high are now Martin Kolomy (Buggyra Tatra No 506)http://www.buggyra.com/dakar/?page=zpravy&kategorie=2 and two of the Jaml Tatras of the Bonver Dakar Project raced by Artur Ardavichus (515) and Tomas Vratny (517). The Pole Jans Szustkowski (539), also from the Bonver Dakar team, will do his utmost, but joined the team only last year. Finally, Slovak Robert Kasak will drive a Tatra T 815 and Dutchman Gert Huzink http://www.riwalddakar.com/ the ex-Marcel Schoo, ex Pierre Blom Tatra Phoenix in this year’s Dakar. Though it is Huzink’s first year at the Dakar with a truck, he competed in the car category the last three years, reting in all.
