ADJUSTMENT OF THE FOURTH STAGE FIAMBALA-COPIAPO
In order that the race remains as fair as possible, possibilities of adjustments based on the events of the previous day have been imagined.

Indeed, seeing that a great number of competitors will not have returned to the bivouac by night fall, and having to face the passage of the Andes Cordillera, the rally organization has decided to delay the start of tomorrow’s stage from 4:00 to 5:30 and set the finish of tomorrow’s special at CP3, reducing it of its last 40 kilometers

So because the world's toughest race is "too difficult" for some teams, they are going to make the rest easier??? Everyone knew the rules going in and that the unknown, was what this race is all about. Even RG knew what that restrictor was going to do, and should expected that these types of issues could have arose. Is he on a level playing field with the crossover 4WDs? No. But nobody forced him to take that big 2-wheel.

I LOVE what he is doing, and doing it his way, but we can't really expect the powers-that-be to cut him a bunch of slack because he's doing it his way. That being said, I would love to see an unrestricted class. Just the best drivers, building the best piece they can, and facing the toughest conditions possible. Ok, I'm done now.
