“In two or three parts of the race the Stella made jumps and stayed still or increased and came back. This disoriented you, but at least the footprint was marked and along the way we followed that same course, ”said Rafael Sendra, after getting out of the car in a brief hand-to-hand talk for Télam.
“We are in the middle of the pack, but we talk to the people in the system and they tell us that it is losing satellite. But imagine that those seconds at 100 kilometers per hour, going through the field can cause an accident and if you don’t see a curve with danger, it gets complicated, ”he assured.
This Saturday, the UTV 252 of Serafín Sendra and his father Rafael arrived at the Tunuyán camp, in Mendoza, where the South American Rally Race arrived for the first time in its three editions. The Comodorenses reached the fifth position in the UTV T3.2 category and were 16th among the general positions.
The possibility that the UTV reaches speeds at those of a truck makes the concern of today’s boater with his son a priority.
“In the history of SARR, UTVs have won every single competition. It goes fast on all terrains where the truck is slower, except on rocky terrain where it takes up a lot of time, whether it is a main or secondary road, ”he assured.
“That’s why it’s scary that the navigation system makes the navigator unable to warn the pilot that there is a hole or a very sharp and closed curve,” he acknowledged.
The “click” of the pilot, his son
Rafael Sendra pondered Serafin’s evolution at the wheel so far in the three stages completed, with the car in good condition and without damage: “He had a good performance and I think he feels better, day by day.”
“There was a fesh fesh that wasn’t as rough, but compared to the first day where we ended up with a lot of dirt. Serafin day by day learns to make sense of what the car is like in these terrains, with the development of the technique and where it is instilled in him for the better that we only have a ball joint and a steering end”, he assured.
Finally, “Rafa” affirmed that there was a moment when Serafin went out to chase a Chilean rival who surpassed them and his 18-year-old son showed a maturity that motivates him to think about moving forward in the competition, in which he will continue this Sunday. on Mendoza soil and will stay in General Alvear, to also have the rest day.
