The pilots of the Tatra Buggyra ZM Racing team agreed that this year's Dakar Rally was clearly one of the most difficult and longest in history. The more there is a good mood in the Roudnice team from the completion of the whole race. It is also interesting that all the trucks that the Tatra Buggyra ZM Racing team dispatched to Dakar 2023 used biofuel during the races.
