R TEAM RALLIART WINS THE SECOND STEP OF THE PODIUM IN QATAR The brazilian crew Moraes-Cincea concludes the Qatar Sealine Cross Country Rally on the 2nd place in the T2 category with Pajero of the Italian Team in the 4th round of the World Cup Once again, the Pajero of R Team Ralliart stands out for speed and reliability and, in the expert hands of the brazilian Marcos Moraes and Kleber Cincea, it managed to finish in second position of the T2 category in the tough Qatar stage. A very selective race with difficult special and a lot of navigation that has created problems for all the crews making very important the task of the co-driver, who used the gps to trace the best route to follow trying to reach the waypoints as quickly as possible. But not only the sand was the protagonist of the Qatar race, long stretches of stony put a strain on the cars, forcing the drivers to maintain mechanical and tires during 6 hours or more daily driving. The greatest exponents of the specialty were present, especially in the T2 category where they have led in the race the latest innovations such as the new Nissan Patrol and Toyota Land Cruiser 200, but despite this Moraes was able to show off a great performance winning an 11th place overall in classification, even arriving in front of an official Mini, and the 2nd place of T2. A 2nd place not too satisfactory for the driver of San Paulo who in the 5 stages of over 400 km has perfectly played the path, confirming his position as one of the best drivers of the category. Despite two wins in the selective sectors, entering in the top ten overall, the victory is escaped because of a rubber tube. Specifically, a sleeve of the turbine that failed during the 3rd Special in the burning desert of Qatar. The temperatures were around 45° when the turbo has started to lose pressure and has forced the Brazilian crew to raise the foot, avoid the dunes and reach the bivouac to change the sleeve. The change of route and the loss of some waypoints produced a sanction of 6h and 30m for the driver which relegated him in 2nd position. Without the penalty, in addition to category victory, has escaped even the possibility of reaching the top 10. But the team can be satisfied with having brought the Pajero to the finish line, which has passed the harsh stress that the race reserved (many retreats including Mini and official Toyota), without any mechanical problem. A very important test in anticipation of the DAKAR 2015 that confirmed the reliability of Mitsubishi vehicles. The next event that will see R team - Ralliart will be the " RALLY GREECE OFF-ROAD " from 6 to 8 June. In the international field the next race will be the "BAJA ARAGON" in Spain from 18 to 20 July where the team will defend the victories obtained in the last two editions and 9 wins out of 11 races "Baja" played over the last three years. While the next race "into the desert" will be the "RALLYE OILIBYA MAROC " in Morocco from 3 to 9 October. RalliArt Off Road Italy Press Office
