Krzysztof Holovic was not among the 64 drivers who crossed the finish line of the second stage of the Dakar Rally. On the stretch from Al Hinaqiyya to Al Dawadim, his car hit a roadside boulder and the resulting damage forced the Polish crew to wait for a service truck.
After many hours of waiting, the malfunction (broken wheel) was repaired, but Holowczyk and his co-driver Lukasz Kurzeja decided to go to the bivouac not on the SS route, but on the service road used by the organizers' cars. .

The regulations provide for such a possibility, and after adding a penalty, the crew will be able to continue driving in the rally, but of course without the chance to take a high place.
