“Two days ago the team returned from the tests in Kazakhstan. There are great open spaces, very suitable for rally-raids: high massifs and mountainous special stages. We have tested our trucks and led the final rehearsal of the crew readiness. During October the team will do final preparations of trucks for the important January starts. The trucks for the Dakar-2016 will depart at the beginning of November. In late December the second part of the team will go for the Africa Eco Race-2016".
