Stage 2 Takes Tuareg Rally to High Sand Dunes Plains

Stage 2 took drivers to large seas of high sand dunes close to Erg Chebbi, the place the Svoboda's team had already got familiar with in the OiLibya Rally of Morocco last year. The start of the stage on Monday took place in Zagora, and finished after about 260 kilometres close to a small village called Merzouga. Stage 2 was a mixture of terrains: fifty per cent of gravel tracks, thirty per cent of fast sand tracks and twenty per cent of high dunes plain, which altogether would put both vehicles and drivers to test.

"Monday's stage exhausted us. The hardest part, high dunes, tested all crew's skills ... Shovels and sheets 'enjoyed their jobs'. But we finished without suffering damage, and this is the most important thing!" said Václav Svoboda, the team's boss, having a smile on his face after the finish of Tuareg Rally Stage 2.

The team are going on Stage 3 in the high dunes plains around Erg Chebbi. For more information on the Rally and the Czech crew Svoboda Tatra Team click on our web pages or Facebook, or YouTube Tuareg Rally to watch single stages montages and photos, which are also available on www.tuareg-rallye.com.
