"We are very pleased that we can support Czech competitors at the legendary Dakar Rally," says Petr Kalach, head of marketing at the company Paramo, manufacturer of Mogul engine oils in the Unipetrol group. "The most demanding competition in the world puts crews and their equipment through the toughest tests. As a result, the seven Czech competitors, supported by the company Paramo, are relying on Mogul engine oils, which by virtue of their properties are perfectly prepared for tough conditions of the Dakar Rally, including many measured sections in sand dunes, and cracked pistons."
 
This year the Dakar Rally is celebrating two important anniversaries. The 40th anniversary of the most famous long-distance race is also the 10th anniversary of its route running over the varied terrain of South America. During the race the competitors will have to deal with sand dunes as well as persistent rain, mud and a mountain environment. The first stage of the Dakar Rally 2018 starts on Saturday 6 January in Lima, the capital of Peru. The competitors will have two weeks to cover almost 9000 kilometres. They will be expected at the finish line in the Argentinian city of Córdoba on Saturday 20 January. The length of the route differs depending on category. The longest one is for cars (8793 km), and the shortest is for motorcycles and quad bikes (8276 km). A route of 8710 km has been prepared for trucks. 337 crews consisting of 525 members, 36 of them Czechs, are participating in The Dakar Rally 2018.
