This autumn, InstaForex Loprais Team surprised the fans of the Dakar Rally with good news. The team added two legendary Tatra vehicles to its truck fleet. Apart from that, its PRAGA V4S DKR truck has been included on the list of available trucks in the most anticipated video game - Dakar Desert Rally.
The cooperation between InstaForex, the international fintech company, and Loprais Team began more than 10 years ago. InstaForex Loprais Team made a splash in 2011, winning the prestigious Silk Way Rally competition. Since then, the team has struck lots of victories. Together we remain determined to win more races and receive new trophies.
Since 2012, InstaForex Loprais Team, led by experienced Czech pilot Ales Loprais, has been annually participating in the Dakar Rally, a multi-day marathon. This race is considered to be the biggest and the toughest one on the planet. InstaForex Loprais Team has been steadily showing stunning results since that year.
Ales Loprais is a multiple winner of many rally raids as well as an excellent team leader. He continued the family tradition and became a racer. His uncle, well-known pilot Karel Loprais, won grueling and rough Dakar races 6 times.
Karel Loprais passed away last year. InstaForex Loprais Team decided to honor his memory by restoring 2 legendary trucks - Tatra Puma and Tatra T815 HAS. Karel Loprais won many races behind the wheel of those powerful trucks. Quite soon they will again take part in the Dakar races.
If you like playing video games, you have the opportunity to experience what it is like to be a part of InstaForex Loprais Team. In early October, the long-awaited Dakar Desert Rally game was officially released. According to the developers, the video game turned out to be the biggest and most epic off-road rally racing adventure ever made. Dakar Desert Rally features a virtual version of Praga V4S DKR, the truck of Ales Loprais.
Interestingly, the Praga V4S DKR truck is a 1,150-horsepower beast that has been on the list of available trucks in the Dakar games since 2020. Game players will appreciate the strong engine of the truck when navigating the sweltering sands and dangerous dunes in the Arabian desert, especially under the most severe weather conditions.
Currently, the team is studiously preparing Praga V4S DKR for the new Dakar Rally season, which is scheduled for January 2023. Similar to previous rallies, this one is likely to bring more tough challenges.
There is not much time left before the start of the Dakar Rally. We are confident that InstaForex Loprais Team will demonstrate remarkable results with our strong support once again. InstaForex is a company that represents success and a strong commitment to victory.
