ADDC 2024: Fifth place in the Ultimate class for Pau Navarro

The Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge 2024, the second round of the FIA World Rally Raid Championship, was one of the most difficult in its history. The retirement rate was high and hardly any crew got through the rally without problems. This was not the case for Pau Navarro and Andreas Schulz in the MINI JCW Rally Plus. The pair did not take any great risks and secured fifth place in the Ultimate classification with a consistent driving style. The women’s duo Annett Quandt and Annie Seel finished sixth in the Challaneger category in the X-raid 1000R Turbo. Their team-mates Pál Lónyai and Dmytro Tsyro  had to abandon the race prematurely on the fourth day. Lónyai complained of pain in his arm and neck after hitting a dune crossing. Although he received a heavy time penalty, he was still classified in ninth place.
