The Dakar finds every weak point in a car and has found them in the transmission of the Nebrija-Sodicars prototype.

The tandem of Manolo and Monica Plaza is in doubt about its continuity in this Dakar 2023. The Dakar finds every weak point in a car and the transmission has been it in the Nebrija-Sodicars prototype.

"This is the toughest rally in the world, the acid test for any vehicle and everyone has problems at some point." After four days with incidents in the prototype, "the Sodicars technicians have considered that it is necessary to stop and check in depth if it has a solution, because to continue like this is not safe.

For us it is a very hard decision because we have spent a year preparing for this Dakar.

One of the transmissions of the car, which are new and evolved, has broken repeatedly despite changing it for a new part. The technicians are giving themselves one day to fix it. "Tomorrow we will know what happens, if we will continue or if, unfortunately, we will have to abandon the race.
