Caminos Del Inca 2010 Champion Raul Orlandini Talks About The Traffic In Lima Peru

     The traffic in Lima Peru is getting worse each year, the authorities have to do something about it in order to fix the problem.  Lima will be a city with less traffic accidents if the authorities like the city mayor and the president and his government members, the police, the public transportation drivers, the pedestrians, the drivers, and all its citizens work together now to fix the traffic and transportation problem.  If We all work together now to fix the traffic problem and create conscience about traffic and traffic accidents, the number of traffic accidents will be reduced.  By doing this We can save lives.

  I found this article in a newspaper (Depor.pe) where Raul Orlandini who is the last Caminos Del Inca rally champion says that He can not drive in Lima.
     Raul Orlandini had a traffic accident in a race at the beginning of the year.  Fortunately He recovered very well from this incident and became the Caminos Del Inca 2010 Rally Champion on October.  He said that driving in Lima is more dangerous than driving in a rally or in a circuit race.
    Orlandini is back to his job and has to deal with the traffic in Lima every day.  He said "Before I was angry, but now I don't complicate myself.  I just laugh because in Lima you can not run.  If I could, I would move in a helicopter.  Everyday It takes me one hour to go from home to the office, and one hour to come back.
     Raul Orlandini expects to win the Caminos Del Inca Rally again in 2011 with his Mitsubishi Evo IX..  He is the favorite for that rally.  He wants to compete outside Peru next year.  He wants to race in the Sudamerican Rally, The FIA-Nacam, and the World Championship.  As you can see He has big plans.  He is a good guy.  Best of lucks for him.
