Day 10

Contestants race a long 817km stage between Uyuni and Salta.
Car 1 was stuck partially through the race, but is now heading for the goal.
January 9: The last day of the first week took contestants from Uyuni, Bolivia to Salta, Argentina on a long 817km stage, including a total of 366 kilometers of Specials

The Teruhito Sugawara and Hiroyuki Sugiura crew put up a daring yet solid fight this stage to bring Car 2 to an 18th place finish in the overall Trucks category, and top in the Under 10-litre Class. The 332km liaison segment that came after the SS was flooded in a number of areas, delaying the trucks' arrival at Salta. Car 1 piloted by Yoshimasa Sugawara and Mitsugu Takahashi got stuck earlier in the day and is now en route on the latter half of the SS. They have yet to finish the SS as of this writing, but are in good shape and heading for the finish line.
