The rally starts on January 2nd will be held in the South American continent and is one of the most brutal races in the world covering 9000 kilometers in two weeks.

Piloting the remaing Touaregs will be Dakar veteran and rally legend Carlos Sainz with co-pilot Lucas Cruz. American, Mark Miller and Ralph Pitchford, Nasser Al-Attiya and Timo Gottschalk and the latest additions Mauricio Neves and Clecio Maestrelli.
