He knows perfectly well that the tragedy of Loprais could easily happen to him. Jaroslav Waltr Sr. (53) is fifth among trucks, but he doesn’t think about the race. Moreover, the navigator of Loprais, his son Yaroslav, is also part of the ill-fated crew that knocked down a spectator on the track.
“I don’t want to race. It’s terribly frustrating for us drivers and I know my Hardy that he won’t even want to continue the race.” said Valtr Senior for Czech TV. “Personally, I would cancel the truck stage so that the guys have a chance to decide whether to return to the race or not.” he added.
The Tatra pilot also blames the irresponsible spectator for the accident. “I see it every day from the salon. People jump in front of me, they hide behind the dunes, stand on the dunes and don’t realize that I often can’t even drive on the sand. When I turn the steering wheel, the car turns five meters,” explains the difficulty of driving a truck.
