T603HAV2013

The two directors of PRANEDA, the Dutch Tatra truck importer, owned personal T 603s ordered in 1963. Shown here is the T 603 of mw. Quanjel. Originally the car was red and later white. It was used by Mat Quanjel himself and his daughter Elly. Still remembering Tatra, Elly Quanjel contributed to the Dutch Tatra book “Tatra onder de zeespiegel” but also visited this year’s TRN rally where she has a ride with Kees Smit’s T 87. She loved it, but missed the screaming sound of the T 603. Well, no problem. We organized a drive in the Wouter van Diepen/ Marije Koel T 603 and she came out in tears.

Dakar2014Lopraistesting-2

The training of Tatry, nicknamed the Queen of 69, has her pilot Ales (32) just a month. From it wants to make the most of virtually every hour. “We are doing everything possible to prepare for the Dakar 2014 best and to fight for the front positions,” stressed the fact that the intensive competition in Russia is still not on the mechanics did not stop the shipment and accompanying racing cars or stop.

You have indulged in the Silk Way Rally rest?

Not at all! At the time it was not thought of. We changed a lot of things on the car. Priority should improve cooling and suspension settings. We proceeded on the basis of knowledge. We also modified the control and stabilize the car.Followed by tests of the Slovak Republic, where we verify the correctness of these changes. After returning, we again recaptured flies and perform other modifications that you go check in the second half of October to Poland. We want to catch some tests in Hungary, where we focus on the final stabilization of the vehicle.

When embarking convoy racing and accompanying cars?

Very quickly it comes. In Le Havre, we handle it the 22ndNovember, it means that from Frenstat ride by 20 November.We’ll see them down to Buenos Aires.

And then finally comes peace …

No, because then there is a phase of our personal preparation, packaging, handling other administrative matters and getting the latest information from the places where he was going. In addition, there we go to the Emirates.

You go on vacation?

At the time there really is not. I was there for almost a turn to see where could be well natrénovat high dunes. We rent a jeep and there we learn approached a ride down the highest and nejkrkolomnější dunes in the desert near the Saudi border. In the passenger car is similar, only the truck must be circumspect, because it is much harder. We are interested in the interplay, we then giant dunes in South America nelekli. It will be good for getting used to the big heat. It is not to damage it in time recall. Train We will, of course, physically.

This year you surprised at the Dakar failure of electronics and batteries. Can something like this be prevented?

Dakar will always prepare something at all I do not suppose it could be. We have a completely different system, so … At the competition in Russia we have gained invaluable experience that can not be obtained even in the most demanding tests. I firmly believe that nothing unforeseen will not meet, but that the Dakar really can not tell.

Tell from last year’s some extra parts?

Tell me, but you always betray what you do, because you never thought that this film could just leave … What’s with you, neklekne. Part of spare parts tell us our second race car that will take in the colors of Praga and Budvar beer but nepoveze.Instead, there will be turbo.

Who is the crew of the second race Tatras?

Jan Tomanek, Michael Honda and Tomas Kasparek. They go to the Tatra Dakar already knows. They are relaxed about taking turns at the wheel, their goal is to reach and, if necessary, we provide the fastest and best service.

Your crew does not change?

There is no reason. Navigator is Serge Bruynkens, mechanic Radim Pustějovský, the crew includes mascot Mole.

How witnessed a new engine ready in workshops MKR Technology in the WAC?

We rented it and it’s not cheap. But it is very powerful when driving, it’s great. I call it, it is a chainsaw.

The way to go to Dakar?

Bring maximum power and I believe that the Queen will last.He has not, I believe her.

Expect stronger competition than it was in January this year?

The clear favorite is the factory Kamaz team. I saw them in Russia and have five outstanding pilots, not to mention the cars. To me, they are the strongest in history. Of course, the tip will fight De Roy and leading MAN trucks. We do not want to give away all the férovku, so we’re going to Dakar.

In what will be another year of track in 2014?

The organizers always promise that the new year will be harder than the discontinued. A fulfilling it. This time does not start in Peru, which I regret, because there were difficult dune passages in the beginning. This time it starts in Rosario. The first stage will be especially long and fast. It will be a lot of precision, will ride in shear. There’s plenty of dangerous, bottlenecks without escape zones. Heavy dunes come later.For all but it will be the same. Argentina ride, the bikers will look into Bolivia, we will go over the mountains into Chile, where he is a target.

Dakar2014LopraisTesting2013

In the past week the Czech “Loprais Tatra Team” team worked intensively and tested in the military field Zahorie at Senica in the Slovak Republic. The new place, which provided a driving permit in very difficult terrain, was chosen this time.

“We had three days of intensive testing. After the very difficult debut of our Tatra ´Queen 69´, which was the Russian Silk Way Rally, it was the first time after adjustments that we went out from workshops in Frenštát pod Radhoštem to the Slovak Sahara to test newly modified engine, different damper settings and stabilize the vehicle,” team driector Ales Loprais said.

“There are still things to improve on the Queen. Many thanks to our fans, dear guests, but especially to the partners, which not only sweetened the testing by their visit, but also helped to create amazing background and atmosphere of bivouac. So we ate and drank very well. It was not only work but also very fun and a great motivation for all of us,” commented Aleš Loprais contentedly.

The whole team is gathering pace, which will culminate in the period from 5.1. to 18.1.2014, when the sixth year of the Dakar Rally will take place in the South America.

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.
