It’s day number 6 of Hellas Rally Raid and contestants seem like they are giving their last reserves of energy to perform as the load of this week started to take a toll on them after an intense marathon section. Nonetheless the excitement for racing in such a remote and wild area is what keeps them going.

He kept his position throughout the entire stage, reaching at points an average speed of 80 km/h, with Pol Tarres, Milan Engel, Guillem Martinez and Matthew Grid following closely. The battle among the first for the fastest time is getting tighter each day, as we approach the final day of Hellas Rally Raid.
