Day 8
This has been the toughest day of the rally so far. Road conditions, if you can call it roads at all… I would rather call it dirt tracks. Every night the car is checked and bolts and nuts tightened. Today the bolt holding the catch strap in the rear left wheel got loose and finally disappeared. The rest LT was that the shock absorber broke apart.
There was a hammering noise for 10 km until the finish of the special test. We managed to get in just in time. Fortunately,we carry an additional real shock absorber, it was replaced within 50 minutes.
We have never been driving in such conditions and all the cars are suffering!
