The rally B-class 130LR which was never designed for off road events is the far lowest car of the whole entry field but on the other hand it proves that it was an extremely reliable and tough car.
As he says, if you make a miss, then it is no longer regularity when you are catching up. Then you drive as fast as you can, or dare!
Been there, done that!
hopefully the classic class will grow next year!

How a veteran conquered Dakar
One of the closely watched participants in this year’s Dakar Rally was a ŠKODA 130 LR. Although it took part in the veterans’ category and had an experienced crew, it was this ŠKODA model’s first-ever start in the desert race.
