Leaving Morelia - the way back through Mil Cumbres. Same road as yesterday! Only maybe slightly more technical today because some turns get slippery in the mornings.

Breakfast..!

Coming down from Mil Cumbres

Had a good session at Mil Cumbres today!

We ran at a good pace, but not nearly close to as fast as on the first year. But, definitely safer and taking better care of the car. We should hit 4th place in the A plus category. Need to keep a good steady pace for the next few days.

We don't have a video this year, but we'll get one soon !

Day 4 - special 1

First special of the day. We did minor tweeks this morning and the car feels and sounds great!

Day 4 - service stop

The best service stop of them all!!!

Car is running great today, and we are doing well with the times. Not super fast, but pretty consistent.

Adrian

New tire in!

Lets go!!!!!

- Pau

More adventure on our way to the service!

Panam is definitely about surprises.. We lost our wheel tread.. Good thing we have a spare tire!!

Hope to make it in time to the service this time!

Crossing lake Cuitzeo

Going from Salamanca to Morelia found ourselves over water. Meeting soon @ the service with the BMW and the rest of the team!

Day 4 - start!

Adrian

Top secret spot for the service stop

Yesterday's first speed stage had a multiple crash count with five of them happening in the same corner of the route. We think they all might have been trying to get a more secluded setup for their service, well, they found themselves in a pretty crowded place!

Thankfully out of the 5 crews only one person needed medical attention, that's a testament of the great safety measures enforced in the Carrera Panameicana! We'll try to get a more detailed account of the events and we'll keep you posted.

Meeting @ Queretaro's Zocalo!

More pics fr the arrival at queretaro. Lots of people came this year!

Having the car come in working order is great!

End of day 3

All set for day 3! Good day at lcp 2012!

Day 3 - 3rd special

Back in the desert !

Day 3 - speed sections 1 & 2 of the day

The first 2 specials of day 3 got cancelled due to a series of nasty accidents. 3 cars went off on the same corner only 5 turns into a long section. Plus another couple of other crashes.

Other than that, the actual place for these sections is a lovely place. Going from totally arid to forest.

We meet again!

We ran into our 288 at the gas station! Are we going to make it to the service stop before they do? We'll see!

They have 4 stages before the service and we have to travel through the same roads, I sincerely hope we'll run into some miracle luck...

But all is well on day 3!

Priscila

On our way!

The road is long today on our way to Queretaro, 389km before the service. After a good night sleep everything looks brighter!

See you soon beautiful car!
