In the following places, Carlos Sainz/Lucas Cruz, Giniel de Villiers/Dirk von Zitzewitz and Mark Miller/Ralph Pitchford in the Race Touareg with TDI power, completed Volkswagen’s successful stage. MaurÃcio Neves/Clécio Maestrelli reached the stage destination for Volkswagen in tenth place. At an average speed of 95.15 km/h, Al-Attiyah as the best Volkswagen driver was clearly faster than on the previous day’s stage, which featured lots of dunes and was run at a speed that, on average, was about 35 km/h slower.

After four of the 14 stages Stéphane Peterhansel continues ranking in front of the Volkswagen trio Carlos Sainz, Nasser Al-Attiyah and Mark Miller while MaurÃcio Neves is in tenth place overall. After achieving a fifth-place finish today, last year’s winners Giniel de Villiers/Dirk von Zitzewitz, who had dropped back the day before due to electrical damage – as a result of an accident – came back with a top position in the Race Touareg.

In view of the high level of difficulty of yesterday’s stage and the fact that various participants had not even arrived at the previous leg’s finish during the night the organiser decided to shorten today’s stage. As a result, the fourth special stage only encompassed the first 163 of the planned 203 kilometres.
