    SILK WAY RALLY 2017: A hard stage for Gerard De Rooy and his PETRONAS De Rooy IVECO Teammates Dutchman Ton Van Genugten finished the 5th leg from Astana to Semey in 10th position on his IVECO Trakker, just ahead of Kazakh pilot Artur Ardavichus aboard his #310 Powerstar Team leader Gerard De Rooy, after a great departure on his completely renovated Powerstar, was forced to stop at the CP2 because of mechanical problems later resolved at the bivouacs Today Team PETRONAS De Rooy IVECO will be engaged in the sixth leg from Semey to Urdzhar Semey, 13th July 2017 The 7th edition of the Silk Way Rally is underway. The participants started early yesterday morning in Astana, capital of Kazakhstan capital, and headed for the city of Semey. The route – more than 870 km long – included 329.25 km across the amazing landscapes of the Kazak steppe. In spite of a very good start, Gerard De Rooy, co-driver Moi Torrallardona and the experienced Polish mechanic Rodewald, were forced to stop the truck before the finish line, exactly at the CP2. “We started this morning well motivated – said De Rooy – but unfortunately, after about 100 km, we decided to stop at CP2 because of a mechanical problem.” It was not an easy day for IVECO: Ton Van Genugten, behind the wheel of his #306 Trakker Evolution, finished the stage in 10th position, 51m42s behind the first. After stage 5, the driver is 10th also in the partial general classification. Artur Ardavichus and Belgian co-pilot Bruynkens drove the #310 Powerstar avoiding to take risks and closed the day just behind teammate Van Genugten: for the Kazakh pilot the result of this 5th leg confirmed his 5th position in the truck overall classification of the Silk Way Rally.

  • Edition OCTOBER 09 > 14
    ORGANISATION Edition #EDITION 2020 OCTOBER DATES 09 > 14 http:// rallyemaroc World Wide Web .com Edito This year, the Rallye du Maroc is being prepared under adverse circumstances. Indeed, this is an extremely challenging year for all of us and we are well aware of this. We are adapting the organization of the event as best as possible so that this World Rally Championship and life size rehearsal before Dakar is a success. The current health circumstances have forced us to make choices in order to protect the Moroccan people and the competitors by limiting contact and taking special measures. This year, the Rallye will be organized around an XXL bivouac near M’Hamid, south of Zagora. If the nomadic character is assessed under the current circumstances, the Rallye du Maroc remains faithful to its DNA: Be the most accessible international Rally Raid with categories designed for new adventurers, allowing them to progress at their own pace and means, alongside the best pilot and co-pilots in the world. Prepare effectively for the Dakar, whether it is a short-term project or a long-term goal. The Rallye du Maroc benefits from the “Road to Dakar” Label, thus meeting the demanding criteria in terms of safety and sports organization that this implies. Allow factory teams to prepare effectively for the Dakar. So many guarantees of quality for all participants, whatever their level, without sacrificing conviviality and shared experiences. We tend to repeat ourselves by quoting this sentence from Thierry Sabine, but it’s true: “The Rally is a race for amateurs where professionals have their place”.

  • Emperor and Empress Greet Huge Crowds at Tokyo Enthronement Parade
    Emperor and empress greet huge crowds at Tokyo enthronement parade japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/11/10/national/emperor-empress-parade-enthronement Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako waved and smiled from an open car in Sunday’s motorcade which passed through central Tokyo, marking his enthronement before about 120,000 delighted well-wishers who cheered, waved small flags and took photos from both sides of packed sidewalks. Security was extremely tight with police setting up 40 checkpoints leading to the route. Selfie sticks, bottles and banners — and even shouting — were not allowed inside the restricted zone. Residents in high-rise apartments along the road were advised not to look down from their windows or balconies. Naruhito succeeded his father, Emperor Emeritus Akihito, on May 1 following his abdication the day before, and formally ascended the Chrysanthemum Throne in a palace ceremony last month. The parade started from the Imperial Palace at 3 p.m. with the national anthem, “Kimigayo,” being played by a marching band. Naruhito, wearing a tail coat decorated with medals and carrying a brimmed hat, and Masako, in an off-white long dress and wearing a tiara, kept waving from a Toyota Century convertible. The car was decorated with the imperial chrysanthemum emblems and the emperor’s flag during the half-hour motorcade on the 4.6-kilometer-long (3-mile- long) route from the palace to the Akasaka imperial residence in the warm autumn afternoon sun. Naruhito, sitting on the right side on the slightly raised backseat, constantly turned his head to the right and left, responding to people cheering from the opposite side of the street as the motorcade slowly moved at a jogger’s speed.

The 100 km special stage scheduled for today, 22 July, has been canceled due to bad weather and the rally caravan will reach Xi’An with a simple transfer, so the results for this edition of Silk Way Rally are in. Team PETRONAS De Rooy IVECO started early this morning with Gerard De Rooy at the start line at 6.43 on board his Powerstar #302. “It was a nice stage today but not for me: we lost half an hour and we stopped 3 or 4 times. We drove better in the second special stage even if we had some problems to the steering box. For us the Silk Way Rally has been an important test to get the feel of the new truck in preparation for the Dakar rally”. The team leader crossed the finish line with a time of 3h01m00s in 12th position, achieving the sixteenth place in the overall.

She has two younger sisters, twins. Masako went to live in Moscow with her parents when she was two years old. At the age of five, Masako's family moved to New York City, where she attended New York City public kindergarten. In 1971, the Owadas returned to Japan, while Hisashi returned to the Foreign Ministry office.[5] Masako entered Futaba Gakuen, a private Roman Catholic girls' school in Den-en- chōfu, Tokyo.
