Arthur Ardavichus told in the interview that the second stage of Dakar was very difficult for the team: “We covered 300 km of the special part, but the feeling is that we have covered 800 km.

Once we have almost flipped over: the car was already flipping over, we went down and caught hold with one wheel,” Ardavichus said. Besides, the pilot noted that he saw other trucks going on fire. “Our competitor, who started earlier, got into a dune and we followed him into the same trap. The hole was huge.
