Among Pupils with ‘Dakar’ Tatra

After 370 kilometres by road the Svoboda Tatra Team’s “Dakar” Tatra arrived in a new small town called Zliv lying in the České Budějovice region to talk to the local primary school pupils about racing, so fulfil one small boy’s dream.

Children’s reaction to videos from rallies, illustration of a racing driver’s perfect gear, children taking part in talking, laugh, applause and infinite number of questions at the end of the presentation, these all helped create great atmosphere that was pervading during Václav Svoboda and the team members’ narrating.

"We wanted to try to share experience we enjoy while racing, to captivate children, and help them develop liking for technology in general. The smallest ones gave us pictures they had drawn for us to remember the gathering. It’s the greatest compliment we could ever be given by small pupils ... We sincerely thank," said Václav Svoboda, the “Dakar” Tatra pilot, after visiting the primary school in Zliv, and set off on journey to a fair trade called World in Motion held in České Budějovice, where their “Dakar Special” would be on display until the noon on Saturday. Late that day they would finish their weekend’s mission in the Truck Trial in Milovice.
