    So it was no coincidence that Kamaz truck was in Buggyra facility on the way back to Russia. New 2016 Kamaz uses Buggyra Gyrtech engine! The new truck has weight distribution 45/55. Photogallery: http://www.auto.cz/kamaz-master-team...15/foto?foto=0

    Maybe no De Rooy next year because he doesn't like the route. There will barely be any dunes, which he doesn't like. He's thinking about doing the Africa Eco Race and is talking with Kamaz about it as well.
