DAY 6: 11 Jan

On Jan 11, Organizers took into consideration the 25-minute delay that Car 2 sustained on Jan. 10 from a car blocking their way, and the SS finish position of the HINO500 Series truck crewed by Teruhito Sugawara and Mitsugu Takahashi was corrected from 12th to 10th. There was no change in accumulated rankings from this correction.

This day, contestants raced the final day of the first half of the rally. Starting off from Arequipa, Peru, they crossed the border into Bolivia, the second host country. En route, they competed on a 312 km SS that was set in the first 4000 m-class highlands of this year's rally. The HINO500 Series truck finished at 16th place overall.

The course from Arequipa to La Paz, Bolivia's capital city, was set on a mountain route along the southern side of Lake Titicaca. Following a 132 km liaison, contestants raced a 118 km SS―the last SS in Peru―and travelled through a 238 km neutral zone where they crossed the border along the way. Once in Bolivia, they raced a 194 km SS before taking a 76 km liaison to the bivouac in La Paz, making for a long day of driving totalling 758 km. The SS in Peru started off at an elevation of 4500 m and at one point reached 4700 m, the highest point of the SS. This was followed by 3800+ meter highlands all the way through to the finish line in Bolivia. ＊While the road surfaces near the coast up until the day before consisted mainly of hard surfaces or rocks, the rain had created some muddy areas this day. Some spots were extremely slippery and this called for extra caution on the part of driving crews.
