Lotto Team: ninth place at the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge FIA World Championship

USPA NEWS - Rally in Abu Dhabi was the first such major attempt for Martin Kaczmarski and his pilot Bartosz Boba. From the beginning the Lotto Team consistently realized their plan to gather as much as possible experience in a desert rally.

Ninth place in the World Cup is for us a big surprise, we're still novices, the first time we drove our new Toyota Hilux. The most important thing about this kind of rally is the number of miles driven in the dunes, and as you know we didn´t had much this type of training and so almost no experience at all - says Martin Kaczmarski. But thanks to the numerous advices of his mentor Krzysztof HoÅ‚owczyc, the special training under the watchful eye of Andreas Schultz and the very good guiding of his pilot Boba, the Lotto Team´s driver Martin Kaczmarski is more than happy with this ninth place for his debut.

Next round of the FIA World Cup Championship will visit Qatar, with the Sealine Cross Country Rally from 21st to 26th April. Again a difficult desert rally, but this time with also a lot of very fast special stages on gravel - and that is for the Toyota Hilux no problem !! Martin Kaczmarski ““ as the youngest driver which starts in the World Cup Championship ““ is fully optimistically and ready for the next race.
