Dakar Rally 2012 In South America

The seaside resort of Mar del Plata brings to mind lazing around, especially after the competitors have mingled with the crowd during the public presentation ceremony on 31st December. For the short warmup special stage, they will nevertheless be allowed to pass by the seafront, where the small dunes to be crossed will represent the fi rst hurdle. In this simple exercise, the fastest time will establish a fi rst winner and determine each competitor's position in the rankings. After this challenge, there will be a long liaison section to be covered to Santa Rosa de la Pampa.
