2025 AMBITIONS
J.V.: “I've been driving in the Czech autocross series every year for a long time now, in the Special 4x4 class. As in 2024, we are coming with a Mitsubishi Pajero. The Dakar is always a big challenge full of adrenalin. I had both good and bad experiences last year. It was demanding because we drove without a service; we will have one in 2025, so it will be better. The main goal is to enjoy it, to finish without problems and of course, to try to have the best possible result. I’ve known Filip for about three years, he's a great person and a good mechanic, which is useful on the road.”
