… which was very successful despite some incidents, the evaluation of the “pre-tour roadbooks” is on my agenda since some days. All during the check of the daily stages changed images, distances or coordinates will be now also changed in the computer. Completely new or changed sections will be now also digitally inserted into the roadbook files. Just over 50% are already “ready to print”.

… goes to all who have managed to complete this year’s DAKAR with their challenging dune stages.

Of course we especially congratulate the drivers and teams that have been on the rally EL CHOTT with us in recent years. And most of all we are happy for Gabriela Novotna. She had a serious accident still at the end of October 2018 on the penultimate special stage of EL CHOTT and had to break off the rally with a broken foot. Hardly anyone had believed that she would be fit again until the DAKAR. But she did it, and could fulfill her great dream of achieving the finish line in Peru.

We wish all participants of the Rally DAKAR 2019 a great, successful and accident-free event.

Especially “we keep our fingers crossed” for all the teams that have participated in our rally El Chott in recent years:

• Stefan Svitko (moto/11) – ElChott 2013
• Ivan Jakeš (moto/21) – ElChott 2012
• Jan Brabec (moto/46) – ElChott 2017
• Gabriela Novotná (moto/57) – El Chott 2018
• Jan Veselý (moto/68) – ElChott 2013/2014/2018
• Annett Fischer (side by side/385) – ErgOriental 2009
• Martin Macík (truck/504) – ElChott 2017 + BajaBohemia 2015
• Martin Kolomý (truck/508) – ElChott 2011/2012/2013/2016/2018 + BajaBohemia 2015
• Martin Šoltys (truck/515) – ElChott 2018
• Matthias Behringer (truck/520) – ElChott 2014
