Coronel brothers & EBLO: a successful team for years
Driver brothers Tim and Tom Coronel are loyal participants of the Dakar Rally and have chosen EBLO seats for 5 years in a row. And with good reason. The Racetech seats are lightweight and provide optimal protection for the drivers. And that's a good thing...
During the 5th stage of the Dakar Rally 2022, the brothers got off with a scare. For a moment it threatened to go wrong. "We slipped out of a corner and hit hard on a hump of camel grass. The car was launched. We made a jump of at least 15 meters and landed on the nose. Fortunately, it went just fine."
The Racetech seats of the new Century Buggy kept the drivers in place. Also, thanks to the 5-point harness with central quick-release buckle that EBLO included with the Racetech seats, the boomers weathered this trip well.
In their choice of Racetech seats, Tim and Tom Coronel did not take any chances. During the construction of their previous car, The Beast, the brothers reported to EBLO for a seat measurement. "Good seating comfort should not be underestimated during the Dakar Rally," the twins say.
The choice of racing seats from Racetech was quickly made. In addition to high-quality technology and a reinforced frame, the seats are known for their lightweight, ergonomic design and safety. Especially for this race, EBLO provided the Racetech seats with extra padding: thick seat and back foam. As it turns out, not a superfluous luxury at all!
Tim and Tom look back and forward with satisfaction at the cooperation with EBLO. "Only the best seats make us happy", as Tim Coronel aptly says. And well, for the best in seating, you have to go to EBLO!
A word:
"I got to know Tim and Tom in the racing world and I can regularly be found on the track myself. I'm a hobby racer and don't drive under the circumstances of the Coronel brothers, but I do know what is asked of a car and of your body when driving at high speed. When the brothers had indicated they were looking for a seat, Racetech was the only logical choice. The seat brand is unparalleled within the racing world due to its ultimate safety and seat frame strength. Only the best is good enough for Tim and Tom and we are happy to contribute to that."
