As “Rally Alūksne” reports, this year Raimonds Strokšs will sit in the pilot’s chair for the first time in the Alūksne Rally, and his helmsman will be the experienced Māris Neikšāns. It is interesting that if Strokšs has started ten times in the Sarma Rally, this will be his debut in the Alūksne Rally.
“Feelings are capital, and the pre-race mandrake is already bubbling nicely,” of Raimonds Strokhs.
After a nine-year break, Raimonds returned to the rally sprint competition in Tulsa, and now he is looking forward to trying his hand at the winter speed stages in Alūksne. The goal is simple – to enjoy!
“Preparations are already in full swing – applications and licenses have been completed, tires have been ordered. It remains to refresh a little more skills in training and see you at the start!”
“This rally is for our pleasure – two veterans decided to participate today. Enjoy – leaning against the snow bank in bends is the norm and even necessary. When I’m in a skid, if there’s a tree or a ditch nearby, I catch my breath,” of Maris Neikšanwho added that the craziest thing a pilot has said to him in a speed stage, when the crew is at full throttle between two jumps – “I didn’t hear”.
