Ardavichus and Dandy Rise Like a Phoenix From The Ashes
12.1.2015Just like the mythical Phoenix rose our Czech-Kazakhstani crew of the Bonver Dakar Project from the fine sand of the Atacama Desert in stage eight of the Dakar Rally. Still in the morning before the start we did not have an idea whether their truck would start in the second half of the world’s toughest race. Our crew mechanic Daniel Kozlovský was able to tackle the technical problems even without proper tools and equipment and the pilot Artur Ardavichus then finished in the elite top ten. However, not everyone had been that fortunate before the day-long rest day.
