Jun Mitsuhashi has announced participation in the 2013 Dakar Rally as a member of Team Toyota Auto Body (TLC), the champion team in the [unmodified?] production category.
On his road back to the FIA T2 category championship, he has joined the Pharaons Rally, an important preliminary for Dakar. Arriving two full days ahead of his teammates, he is relaxing at his hotel to recover from his flight of over 22 hours. He will be joined by the others the evening of the 28th. After vehicle inspection on the 29th, they will have a day off before the rally begins on October 1.
“We had a very good run here last year. Because it turned into a joint competition with the next higher class, Super Production. Alas, machine trouble on the last day hurt our overall standings and cost us the production category trophy. I sure hope to take it home this time.”

三橋選手は、昨年のファラオでは最終日のマシントラブルで総合13位、市販車5位でした。完走はされているので、リタイアではないですね。
でももちろん、完走したといっても三橋選手にとって不本意な結果であったことには間違いないと思われます。
しかしながら昨年の走りは、最終日までは素晴らしいレースを見せて下さったので、今年もガンガンに責めてご自分が納得の行くレースを展開して頂きたいと思います。
レポートの方も、どうぞ宜しくお願い致します。-
