Excellent
performance
in
the
Truck
Category
by
Tatra
driven
by
Loprais-Gilar
is
achieved
by Pirelli in
the
Lisbon-Dakar,
which
ended
inSenegal
recently.
The
performance
of
the
Czech
team’s
factory
Tatras
managed
by
Loprais
assumes
even
greater
significance
as
the
trucks
competed
on Pirelli
PS22 tyres
identical
to
those
on
public
sale
and
much
liked
by
all
the
drivers
in
the
marathon
on Pirelli.
An
important
result
and
one
that
inaugurates Pirelli’s motor
racing
season
in
the
best
possible
way,
a season
in
which
the
Milan
giant
will
celebrate
its
100th
anniversary
in
motor
sport.
This
first
experience
of Pirelli’s with
the
works
Tatras
in
the
Dakar
was
more
than
positive,
also
because
another
of
the
team’s
trucks
on Pirelli
PS22 driven
by
the
Brazilian
crew
De
Azevedo-Justo
came
fifth
overall
in
the
category.
The
qualities
of
the Pirelli
PS22 were
fully
exploited
and
appreciated
by
all
the
Lisbon-Dakar’s
entrants,
who
won
the
various
stages
of
the
event.
Overall,
six
competitors
on Pirelli finished
the
gruelling
African
marathon
among
the
first
15,
further
confirmation
of
the
high
degree
of
robustness,
torque
and
competitiveness
of
the
Italian
tyres.
All
further
confirmation
of
the
concept
at
the
heart
of Pirelli technology,
that
racing
is
a valid,
valuable
and
constant
“development
laboratory”
for
tyres
destined
for
users
of
the
roads
of
the
entire
world. Pirelli
tyres
are
marketed
in
Oman
by
their
authorized
sole
distributor
General
Trading
Enterprises
LLC,
an
OTE
group
company
with
strong
distribution
and
service
network
spread
across
the
Sultanate. |
