LA CARRERA PANAMERICANA SEEKS NEW CHAMPION

Santiago de Querétaro, Sunday, October 14, 2018.- A Sunday of different shades was the one the competitors of La Carrera Panamericana 2018 experienced.

In the first morning control located in Villa del Carbón, 59 crews took part in starting the activities of the third day of competition.

"El Malditillo" by Ricardo Cordero and Marco Hernández in the Turismo Mayor category was still leading the contingent after two good days on the Mexican roads in and .

However, meters after the start in Villa del Carbón (2), the Mexican crew suffered a mishap without consequences for the members but that forced the abandonment of Car #139.

With this, the possibility of endorsing the 2017 championship is diluted and opens the door to the rest of the crews looking to conclude next Thursday at the finish line in the state of Durango.

Without Cordero in the competition, the team of Hilaire and Laura Damiron, taking advantage of this opportunity, could reduce its time, winning three stages: Chapa de Mota 1 and 2, as well as Sacacorchos in San Mateo el Viejo in the Municipality of Temascalcingo, location that, by the way, is worldwide famous by its excellence in producing fireworks.

Finally, at the finish line at Santiago de Querétaro, the Damiron arrived in first place, followed by Emilio Velázquez, both in the Turismo Mayor category.

And in third place, the car #511 of the Mini Panam Challenge contingent, manned by Francisco Díaz and Óscar Javier Mendoza, who continue with steady steps after 35 stages.

La Carrera Panamericana will rest in Querétaro soil and after completing 7 timed stages, it will arrive to next Monday.
