The Chilean Carlo de Gavardo lived a black day in the third stage of Dakar. The huelquenino was officially disqualified from the race after he failed to pass through checkpoints, a fundamental requirement for timed testing.
The Chilean court sustained the clutch of his Hummer, and had to be towed to the end of the third stage of the competition by a truck. Therefore could not pass through the checkpoints, and suffered a penalty which meant his final exit from the competition.
The Chilean government invested nearly $ 1 million in the order of De Gavardo.
The pilot Huelquen native, will try until the last minute to appeal, and that the organization will allow at least enter Chile as a competitor, it is the direct representative of the Chilean Government, which invested $ 1 million for the conditioning of your car.
De Gavardo knew it would last for a penalty not pass through control points of the third stage, but hoped at least to let him remain competitive, but risked being last in the overall standings.
"The car was walking, but the changes passed and no progress. I thought it was the gearbox, but it was the clutch. I am very disappointed and sorry but I do not pay anyone's leg and enter Chile evil, is not to my liking . The ideal was to get results, but so good, "said a disappointed De Gavardo.

Very nice. I was thinking there would be no reason RG couldn't leave the Chile Hummer there with extra spares at the end of the Rally. If Carlo had several months distroying the Hummer and doing repairs himself, by next year he would have more seat time than RG has and also know the terrian better than anyone.
Then 3 months before the Rally send it home for a full fresh'n up.
It could make for a great Second try. Robby first try with the Hummer ended exactly the same. Blown clutch in the dunes.
And he had 3 million laying out of his pocket.
