Capricious Fiambala
17.01.2013
Capricious Fiambala - another sandy episode of Dakar-2013.
Trucks category continues to surprise by its vitality. For today's start there were 64 trucks of 75 starting in Lima. But Ms. Fiambala shows again its contentious temper. Last year, for example, there was rain, and the crossing of the artful sands turned for Dakar competitors into easy walk. Today, almost immediately after the start of the special stage and passing of the first control point by the first crew the message from organizers about special stage cancellation comes. The reason - the heavy rain at the special stage start point. The judges have already sent a few cars on the route, and only then stopped the start for the rest of the competitors. They immediately went to the bivouac. There is a probability that the organizers will score the time of the competitors which could reach CP1, and those who did not start, in such cases, the time of the worst crew which reached the cut-off point of time usually is given. We have to wait for an evening briefing.
