InstaForex Loprais Team with Ales Loprais at the helm secured the top tank in the truck category at stage 9. Still, they had to withdraw from the Dakar Rally 2023. After the accident, the racer decided to leave the tournament.

Despite the withdrawal, Ales and his crew managed to achieve strong results at each of the interim stages and took the lead in the overall standings until the end.

Let’s recall momentous scenes of the rally and enjoy the success at the stages

On New Year’s Eve, the 45th edition of the famous Dakar Rally opened with the 13-kilometer-long Prologue which stretched along the Red Sea coast. InstaForex Loprais Team met the challenge easily. Sadly, Praga V4S DKR was not able to grab a well-deserved rank in the top 5.

For a start, Ales Loprais, Jaroslav Valtr jr., and Petr Pokora were ranked 6th from 55 in the truck category. They lost by 0.7 second to Dutch racer Victor Versteijnen who took 5th place.

At stage 1 of the Dakar Rally 2023, Praga V4S DKR #508 coped well with all difficulties of the terrain. At high speed, the crew caught up with racing cars and buggies. Eventually, the team notched the second best result of the day. Ales Loprais, Jaroslav Valtr jr., and Petr Pokora moved up 4 ranks and stood at the second rank in the overall ranking, only 5 minutes behind the leader Martin Macik.

“The first stage was surprisingly tough. Our starting position was not exactly perfect. From the very beginning, we had to deal with dust from buggies and cars,” Ales Loprais said.

Ales Loprais and his team did a great job with another rocky route, and after two stages they took the lead in the truck category.

Ales and his crew overcame the following stages with confidence despite all sorts of natural and technical challenges.

Harsh weather conditions, complicated terrain, tire punctures, and penalties did not prevent them from being the leaders of the race.

The ninth stage was final for the Loprais team, but not the final one for all the other participants of the rally. The red and black truck Praga V4S DKR No. 508 got stuck in a flooded and muddy wadi for 15 minutes. Nevertheless, InstaForex Loprais team managed to break away from other trucks, finishing the ninth stage in fourth place and increasing their final lead in the truck category to almost 27 minutes.

InstaForex has supported the team for many years. During this time, we have gone through troubles a few times that we successfully solved together.

We hope that further seasons of the famous rally will go without tragic accidents and the crew will again display their stunning performance.

Let’s wish Ales and his crew to recover from the shocking event and move on with renewed energy!

This autumn, InstaForex Loprais Team delivered more pleasant surprises to fans of the fascinating Dakar Rally. First, the team added two legendary Tatra trucks to its garage. Second, another famous truck, PRAGA V4S DKR, became a part of the most anticipated Dakar Desert Rally video game.

The joint project of InstaForex, an international fintech company, and Loprais TATRA Team, a regular participant of the Dakar Rally, was set up over 10 years ago. InstaForex Loprais Team recorded its first glorious victory in 2011 after winning the prestigious Silk Way Rally competition. Since that time, the team has been securing more trophies and awards, and the partners continue their joint ascend to new heights.

Since 2012, InstaForex Loprais Team led by Ales Loprais has been taking part in rallies, long-run marathons, and, sure enough, the world's largest rally, Dakar, steadily showing excellent results.

Ales Loprais is a multiple winner of numerous rally-raids and a skillful leader of the team. He has inherited the passion for racing from his uncle Karel Loprais, the legendary pilot who won the Dakar Desert Rally 6 times.

Karel Loprais passed away last year. To honor him, InstaForex Loprais Team decided to arrange a comeback of two legendary trucks. Tatra Puma and Tatra T815 are back on track. Karel Loprais scored many victories behind the wheel of these trucks, so these vehicles have been returned to the team of winners.

Now everyone can try on the role of the InstaForex Loprais Team member. We have great news for gamers. Early October saw the official release of Dakar Desert Rally, one of the most anticipated games this year. According to developers, it is the most epic version compared to older editions, and its catalog includes a virtual analog of PRAGA V4S DKR driven by Ales Loprais.

PRAGA V4S DKR was first introduced in Dakar games in 2020. This powerful truck boasts 1,150 horsepower, so gamers face no difficulties when navigating the challenging area of Saudi Arabia despite severe weather conditions.

Meanwhile, InstaForex Loprais Team is studiously preparing the real version of the truck for a new rally season. Needless to say, the toughest challenge for PRAGA V4S DKR will be the high-profile Dakar Rally scheduled for January 2023.

The grand start is around the corner, and we have no doubt Ales Loprais’ team will demonstrate remarkable results once again with the strong support from its partner. InstaForex is a partner that represents success and a strong commitment to victory
