Day 3

Car 2 Sustains Minimal Damage Despite Tipping Over
Things go smoothly for Car 1 and team maintains 1st and 2nd positions in the Under 10-litre Class
January 7, the third day of Dakar Rally 2014 took the contestants from San Rafael to San Juan, Argentina. From San Rafael, the racers took a 292km liaison segment to the west side of Mendoza where they started on a 245km SS on the mountain roads in the area. Although all categories were given notice immediately prior to the start that the courses could be shortened due to the effects of rainfall over the past few days (deteriorating road conditions), conditions had improved by then and the SS was carried out at the scheduled distance.
