The new French truck racing champion had no issues readjusting his schedule for the team. “I can’t even imagine turning away an offer to test the European NASCAR series cars. When they called me that Yasmeen has problems with her back, I just packed my stuff and went there,” explains Téo, who is now ready for intensive testing of the Tatra special. “I did some mileage in a Dakar truck before, and it felt great. Sure, circuit racing is something different, but every kilometre behind the wheel of a racing special is useful. I haven’t raced in the desert before, but there is a first time for everything.”

作为新的法国卡赛冠军，Teo的行程非常繁忙，结束了欧洲NASCAR系列赛的赛程后，他立马打包行李去法国看望了背部受伤的Yasmeen。而对于接下来的迪拜大试车，他也做好了自己的规划——对Tatra卡车实行进一步的强化测试，虽然之前参加过达喀尔拉力赛，体会过沙漠赛道，但场地赛完全不同，Hail拉力赛的沙漠场地，非常有挑战性。

With the upcoming winter programme that might see Téo Calvet turning into a rally-style driver, it makes sense to ask one important question – whether he is thinking about trying Dakar Rally and to support Ignacio Casale as a wild card. “Well, I know he’s willing to try anything. Right now, it’s like – never say never – and if you really want something, anything is possible,” said the Buggyra’s head of communication Jan Kalivoda.
冬季比赛即将到来，这也让Teo面临着赛车生涯最严峻的选择，是摆脱现状，征战达喀尔拉力赛，还是坚守卡赛的阵地，守卫冠军荣耀。ZM-BUGGYRA车队的赛车手面对如此艰难的选择，Buggyra的负责人Jan Kalivoda却并不担忧：“Teo是一名真正的勇士，面对未知的挑战和困难，他心里有自己的选择，然而无论他选择那哪一条路，只要他坚持走下去，就一定能成功”。
