Hungarian Baja – BMW stakes on win!
It became known that BMW X-Raid will enter the 4th event of FIA Baja Cup with 3 crews. They are: present leader in Baja Cup - Nasser Al-Attiyah, G. Chicherit and Russians Leonid Novitskiy with Oleg Tyupenkin.
Not complicated calculation allow to understand that BMW is going to get the prescheduled winning of the Baja Cup.
In case of victory of Attiyah he'll get in total 60 points. Boris Gadasin in order not to loose the chance to fight for the winning in Cup should finish at least on the second position and get 11 points (in this case Boris will have in total 33 points).
If Gadasin finishes third or lower, and even if he gets 7 points for the 3rd place, he will get in total 29 points and two further victories with additional 30 points in last two races of Baja Cup (Baja GB and Baja Portalegre) will not allowed Russian pilot to get over the Qatar Attiyah.
Nevertheless, to follow this way Attiyah firstly must win the race, and how it will be in real time you will know from our Race Report.
L. Novitskiy and O. Tyupenkin continue their training program before "Dakar" in Argentina. In two weeks after participation in Hungarian Baja the crew will start in Pax Rally (second event of "Dakar Serie").
