Dakar 2018 continues tomorrow with stage 7 from La Paz to Uyuni. The liaison amounts to 302km, the timed special is 425km.

The vehicles are parked in a parc ferme style holding area until start the coming day to continue with the longest special stage 8 of the rally, covering nearly 500 kilometers, a genuine test in high-altitude sand dunes 3,500 m above sea level.
