Starting from the Paraguayan dawn / Kenyan sunrise, the crossing contemplated the first passes to “Camp Moran”, “Loidia”, “Kengen Geothermal” and “Kedong”, with the second round scheduled to the same timed sections hours later. Already in the first loop, the fesh-fesh and the huge tracks left by the Rally1 cars complicated the competitors within the next technical group (Rally2) and in some cases, even key positions were lost.

In the fight within the WRC2 and Challenger subdivision, the positions were reversed at the end of the day for the Paraguayans who are competing flat out in the third date of the FIA World Rally Championship.
