Russia (bbabo.net), - The most famous rally-raid on the planet - "Dakar-2022", continues in Saudi Arabia. Alas, after seven stages, there is one less Russian crew in the marathon.
During the passage of the route, the buggy of Sergey Karjakin and his navigator Anton Vlasyuk collided head-on with the car of the Italian Marco Carrara.
According to the participants in the incident themselves, the car had a whole protective frame, but the damage to the front frame and serious injuries of the athletes prevented them from continuing to fight in the sands.
“Unfortunately, Dakar-2022 is over for our team! We fought to the last, but we are unable to cope with such damage. Thank you very much to each of you, for your support and kind words, you are an incredible team! Thanks to the whole team ! Everyone gave their best for all 300 percent. This "Dakar" could not have taken place without our partners and sponsors! We will definitely come back here and take the Golden Bedouin ", - wrote Sergey Karjakin on the social network.
Meanwhile, representatives of the KAMAZ-master team continue to prove their leadership in the class of trucks.
The crew led by Anton Shibalov became the winner of the seventh stage. Shibalov overcame the 402 km special stage in 3: 33.17 seconds. In the overall standings, the KAMAZ-master crew headed by Dmitry Sotnikov is in the lead, followed by Nikolayev and Shibalov.
