Dakar is getting tougher. While Martin Šoltys was helping stuck competitors in 2nd stage,

他的机械师Tomas从一辆撞毁的卡车上救出了其他团队的队员。

 just a day later his mechanic Tomáš Šikola pulled out a crew from a crashed truck. 

同时Josef跟Tomas Enge也遇到了更多的问题，这次是轮胎漏气的问题。

Meanwhile, Josef Macháček and Tomáš Enge hit more issues, this time with punctures. 

 达喀尔拉力赛第一赛段全场630公里（从Wadi Ad-Dawasir到Wadi Ad-Dawasir），其中常规路段227公里，特殊路段403公里，这一赛段大部分被沙丘所覆盖。

除了轮胎漏气之外，零公里Buggyra车队度过了相对轻松的一天。Josef必须在比赛刚开

Apart from the punctures, the Buggyra Zero Mileage Racing crews had a relatively easy-going day. Josef Macháček had 始的时候就处理轮胎漏气的问题，但随后他以很快的速度返回到了比赛中去。

 deal with the puncture right at the start, but then he continued at a fast pace.

“我们必须在比赛一开始就更换掉漏气的轮胎，所以我们在那时落后了很多。然后我们

 “We had to do a tire change right at the start, so we lost a lot of positions there. Then, we had to make our way through and lost some 

在路途中也损失了一些宝贵的时间。

valuable time.

最后我们发现自己已经汇入了比较快的车手之中，而且没有其他车辆扬尘的干扰。但是

 At the end, we found ourselves among faster drivers, so nobody was throwing dusting at us and that was a nice drive. 

我仍然对结果不是很满意。”

But I’m not happy with the result,” 

Josef在这一赛段夺得了第七名后说到。他目前整体的排名仍是第五名。

said Josef Macháček after finishing 7th in the stage. He is still 5th in the overall standings.

Tomas Enge终于在日落前完成了这个赛段。但是他们又一次遇到了问题。

Tomáš Enge finally managed to finish a stage before the sunset. But once again, with problems.

“我们在一个高速弯中戳破了一条轮胎，但是今天的赛段有非常多的碎石块。

 “We punctured a tire in one of the faster corners, but there were thousands of rocks like that today.

然后我们的变速箱皮带断掉了，我们不得不去更换。但除此之外都还算顺利。

 Then, we had to change a CVT belt, which tore apart. But other than that, it was good.

 我们处于落后的位置，所以我们一直在超车。我们的目标是今天完成这个赛段。

We were at the back, so we did a lot of overtaking. Our goal was primarily to finish today. 

看起来一切终于朝着正确的方向发展了”Tomas Enge说到，他今天排第12名。

And it looks like we’re finally heading in the right direction,” said Tomáš Enge, who finished in 12th place. 

Ignacio在卡车组别中夺得了今日最好的成绩。他又增加了一个前十名的战绩，他在2021达喀尔拉力赛第三赛段中被评为第九名。

So, it was Ignacio Casale who took the best result in the Truck category today. He added another TOP 10 finish, as he was classified 9th in the 3rd stage of Dakar Rally 2021. 

“今天是个高速赛段，有些沙丘难度很大。我和Alvaro为了避开沙丘不得不经常寻找其他的路线。

“Today’s stage was very fast and some of the dunes were really rough. I and Alvaro had to look for a different route several times, to avoid the dunes. 

然后我们遇到了关于涡轮的一个小问题，并损失了一点时间，除此之外，一切都挺顺利。

Then, we had a small issue with turbo and lost some time, but other than that, everything worked perfectly.

 我很高兴我们坚持到了最后。达喀尔拉力还有大段赛程在等待着我们。”目前排名第七的最佳车手Ignacio说到。

It was difficult, so I’m glad that we’ve made it to the end. Most of the Dakar is still ahead of us,” said the currently 7th best driver in the overall standings. 

“今天我很高兴能顺利完赛。我们在150公里处卡住了，然后出现了一个悬挂气囊筒的问题。

“Today, I’m just glad to cross the finish line. We got stuck on 150th kilometre and then there was an issue with a bellow air bag.

我们被一辆斯卡尼亚拉了出来，后来他在两公里后翻了车并被另一辆车撞到，非常惨烈。We got pulled by a Scania, which flipped over just two kilometers later, and got hit by a car. That didn’t look good.

 然后我们看到了一辆Hino，他也翻车了，轮子还在动。Tomas立刻跳下车去把他们从车里拉出来。

Then we saw a Hino, which also ended on the roof. Their wheels were still moving. Tomáš jumped off the truck right away and went to pull them out. 

后来我们又看到一辆撞毁的车子，今天的场面真的很难看。

At the end, we saw another broken car. It really wasn’t a pleasant view today,

所以这就是我为什么想早些完成这个赛段的原因。”Martin说到，第三赛段后他的总排名为第九名。

so that’s another reason why I was looking forward to finishing this stage,” said Martin Šoltys, who is currently 9th in the overall standings after the 3rd stage.

这周三，车队要面对476千米长的常规赛段，接着是一段337千米长的计时赛段。

On Wednesday, the crews will face a 476-kilometre-long connection and then 337 kilometers of a timed stage.
