At the end of last year, the motoring world was preparing for the 44th edition of the famous Dakar Rally, when it was hit by the sad news of the death of the six-time winner in the truck category, Karel Loprais. Monsieur Dakar, who won in 1988, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999 and 2001, left the world just two days before the start of this year. Hundreds of fans, friends, comrades-in-arms and rivals accompanied him on his last trip on Saturday, January 22, in Frenštát pod Radhoštěm.
