Day 9

Car 2 delivers stellar performance finishing at 20th overall.
January 8: This day's course consisted of a loop based out of Uyuni, Bolivia. While the Cars and Motorbikes category raced one counter-clockwise lap around the huge 10,000km2 Uyuni sand flats, the Trucks branched off midway and head out for Lake Poopó west of Uyuni. As a result, the Trucks drove on a 295km SS and a 300km liaison this day. Road surfaces for the day's stage consisted of wide open pistes on hilly territory, and road conditions were bad in some areas. Today again, the SS was set in highlands that ranged in elevation between 3700 and 3900 meters.
