Desafio Paraguarí 2023: Otazo-Elizeche at the top of the podium in podium in the "Desafio Paraguari".

Sensational was the first date of the Paraguayan Cross Country Championship 2023, the "Desafio Paraguari", which was much more complicated than expected by the riders.
After 2 very hard days in the T1 Nafta category, it had an infartante definition, since several of the competitors were able to alternate in the first location, until the Miller Otazo-Hugo Elizeche dupla with Mercedes Benz ML V8 won in a magnificent way for greater regularity.
Second in the classification was Bruno Fiore-Fernando Gonzalez, who despite some tire problems were able to put up a fight with the Isuzu Dimax and third was Luis Franco-Martin Martinez with Toyota Tacoma Proto V6.
Among the motorcycles, in the main category called Motorcycles, the winner was the rider from Lolita (Chaco Paraguayo) Gido Kranh with his GK Moto, followed by Rolando Martínez with a KTM and third was Damián Pedrozo with another KTM.
The next date of the Championship will be in principle in April in the Paraguayan Chaco, subject to confirmation in the coming days.

Rally Minas 2023: Araxá opened the Brazilian Cross Country Rally in great style

Rodrigo Aché/Kaique Bentivoglio dominated the first race of the 2023 Brazilian Cross Country Rally


The rain set the pace of the 1st stage of the Brazilian Cross-Country Rally, held this week (March 7-11) at Rally Minas Brasil in Araxá (MG). Since the Prologue, which defined the starting order on Wednesday, until Saturday, the rain showers were present throughout the entire route.

Also since the Prologue, a duo dominated among the leaders in the accumulated result. Opening the specials (timed sections), Rodrigo Aché and Kaique Bentivoglio (Ranger X-Rally category T1 Basil) opened a good advantage in the first two days, reaching the end with a total of 7h41m42s to finish the 582.98 km. Saturday was the day to manage the leadership. In 2nd place overall, another team duo, Marcos Baumgart/Beco Andreotti (Ranger X-Rally category T1 FIA) 12m2s7 behind the leaders and in 3rd place the duo Glauber Fontoura/Marcos Pastein (Toyota Hilux category T1 FIA) 25m54s73 behind the winning duo.

The variety of conditions of the specials and the configuration with few shifts (links between support and sections) were the differentials of this edition of the Minas Brazil Rally. "The race was very well organized, with perfect finishes and a very selective choice of specials. The Support Park could not have been better, in the premises of an excellent hotel. So, ten points for Rallymakers (the event promoter)", said the President of the National Rally Commission of the Brazilian Confederation of Motor Sports, Haroldo Scipião.

The next event of the Brazilian Cross Country Rally Championship will take place between April 11 and 15, with the 25th edition of the traditional RN 1500 Rally, between the states of Paraíba and Rio Grande do Norte.
