In addition to Nasser Al-Attiyah, Joan Barreda Bort, and all the winners in each category, those who also celebrated in Andalusia were David Zille and Bruno Jacomy, who competed in UTV T4 aboard a South Racing team Can Am.
The Argentines had a good performance in the Andalucía Rally 2021. They managed to position themselves in fifth place in the T4 category, while they were 21st in the general classification, 1h50m from the time of Al-Attiyah, the winner among the cars.
Although they did not achieve the victory in their division, they were the best in the Road to Dakar category, a parallel competition that gives new Dakar Rally drivers the possibility to participate for the first time with a free registration.
Thus, David Zilly and Bruno Jacomy will have the possibility to participate with their UTV in the Dakar Rally 2022, from January 2 to 14, with the plus of saving a significant sum of money in the race budget thanks to the prize won in Andalusia .
