Lidia Ruba, the victorious co-driver in the 2023 Dakar Classic, is showing her dogged determination in her third start, this time in a replica of the Porsche that Jacky Ickx drove in 1986. However, she will tell anyone who listens that she would rather spend early January with her three children. According to her driver —and husband— Juan Morera, the only reason she agreed to enter was so that he did not end up with another co-driver who might not know how to handle him. The Spanish couple emerged victorious from the prologue, only for an electrical problem to send them careening down the standings yesterday. Even so, they won four out of six tests despite finishing the second and third tests empty-handed. Today's provisional results again mark them as the victors in four tests, this time out of five! Lidia will continue to keep a close eye on her husband and on the trophy.
