After his participation in the Dakar 2020, Bruno Jacomy does not rest and prepares for a new and important challenge. The 31-year-old navigator will be part of the South American Rally Race (SARR), an international competition that will be held from February 7 to 14, which will visit the provinces of San Juan, La Rioja and Catamarca and will include vehicles of the Rally Race category and Navigation.
Bruno recently arrived from Saudi Arabia, where he competed in the 2020 Dakar Rally with Franco Caimi: “We have arrived from Arabia with Franco Caimi. I have been with him in the Rally for five years and the preparation for this race has been physical to be on top of the car, to always be in contact with the leaves and the navigation to arrive in the best possible way ”.
Jacomy referred to his partner, the pilot Gonzalo Virro: “Gonzalo is a man from Buenos Aires who has raced on the track, he has a Karting team in the Argentine. With him it will be the fourth race. We have come from doing a date in Atacama, which was for the World Championship, with World Championship road maps, with a World Championship layout, as if it were a Moroccan rally. We rode very well, but due to technical failures in the car we had to abandon. The truth is that we feel very comfortable ”.
Regarding the South American Rally Race, he explains: “I was just looking at the description of the stages and it is going to be a very tough competition, it is going to be a mini-Dakar.”
He will compete in the T3 category and will guide Gonzalo Virro from Mar del Plata in the unit that MDP Pro Racing enlists with the assistance of Daniel Mazzuco. “The expectation is to finish the race as high as possible. But in this new category you have to be very smart because they are vehicles that break a lot due to the aggressiveness of the terrain or the temperature, as in this case, because 40 or 45 degrees of thermal sensation are expected and there is no belt, electro or radiator that holds. You have to be very smart when it comes to taking risks, ”he pointed out.
Regarding his experience in the Arab country, he said: “The Dakar in Arabia surprised me. Arabia is a very orderly country, very large in terms of its economy and its people. It is very much like Dubai and Emirates, with large and magnificent buildings. But it is a country with little passion for motorsports yet and, out there, there is not the furor that there is in South America, that was quite strange. We came to the bivouacs here and they were full of people, there was no one there. The experience was impeccable ”.
