Carlos Ambrosio / Carlos Eduardo Piacentini Sachs (Cadu) n°204 — 6th in 2h12’25, 5’23 from the winner: “It was very fast special stage, on laterite tracks with many bumps and creeks to cross. I almost took the car to the limits and, today, my driving was more aggressive.”
Leandro Torres / Idali Bosse n°208, 9th in 2h18’23, 11’21 from the winner: “Slow but sure, that is my rule! I am a bit tired at the end of this stage, but very happy about the day.”
