Liang Yuxiang long persisted in fitness
"bodyguard"
dream to participate in Dakar
in fact, Liang Bo fitness also has an important purpose - join the cross-country rally.
he was a fanatical self driving enthusiast with his wife's friends driving from Chengdu to driving Europe, and then car rental from the west coast of the United States to the east coast. Gradually, he began to feel that he was not interested in driving, and felt that driving in the desert, Gobi and river banks was more exciting. So in 2008, he worked with his son Liang Xi for the first time in the ring tower rally. In
2012, his son Liang Xi drove the car to the world-famous Dakar rally. That year, Liang Yuxiang went to South America as a family and friends, and witnessed the whole journey of his son to Dakar. Dakar also scattered a seed in the heart of Liang Bo, according to Zhou Yuande's words: "although as a member of the family and friends to Dakar, but Liang Bo in the heart itching, three is not five when they want to touch a car, he was with our driver to open a guarantee car."
since then, after running with his son, he has been considering whether he can compete with his age and energy. As the hardest car rally in the world, Dakar is a "death rally", which has been held in 70s last century, and so far, nearly a hundred people have died in Dakar.
"Dakar is really very hard, and after running through the motorcade, I feel that it is a race to test people's willpower." Liang Yuxiang has also hesitated to pursue such a dream, but every thought of the more than 60 year old people in a foreign country looks like he wants to go. "I have seen people who are crazy about this sport in Dakar. Dakar is a great game for them. A lot of people can't compete. They run their own cars and chase the race. We all call them Dakar star tribe. In addition, in the camp of the competition, there are also a lot of people fifty or sixty years old, they are not necessarily drivers, some only serve some service, they let me deeply feel that a truth man should have a dream after the old. I want you to see that the life of the elderly should not be accompanied by grandchildren and dances.
originally, Liang Yuxiang was ready to take part in the Dakar rally in South America early this year, but because of the change from last year's route to the most attractive Chile and Peru, it was a pity that he decided to put his dream on.
"the main goal of 2016 is to take part in the Sino Russian silk road rally from Moscow to Beijing. The dream of Dakar is certainly not to give up. Even if you can't take part in Dakar in 2017, I will go and go as a driver in 2018." Liang Yuxiang said.
