“The T3 Light Prototypes category is synonymous with success for our team and our brand. We entered it in 2020. A year later we managed to win the Dakar when the leader of our project, Pepa Macháček, climbed to the imaginary top,” said Koloc on the team’s website .
This time, however, the 65-year-old Macháček will no longer compete, but will accompany Koloc to the rally. “We will spend the entire Dakar together in the car and he will also be my advisor so that I can make the right decisions,” Koloc said.

Aliyyah and Yasmeen Kolocova have been actively preparing for the Dakar for several years, but they can only start after they have turned 18. “It will be the culmination of their three-year preparation, the premiere launch will be mainly about gathering experience. The navigators will have a huge share in the success of the mission. Aliyyah will be navigated by an experienced Frenchman, Stéphane Duplé,” said Koloc. The second daughter of Yasmeen will be navigated by South African Taye Perry.
Jaroslav Valtr Sr., who will drive a Tatra truck, will also appear in Buggyra colors at the Dakar. The rally will start in Saudi Arabia with a prologue on December 31.
