Navigation proved to be the key factor on the way to success for the Mini ALL4 Racing team during the ninth stage of the Dakar Rally as the navigators of three Mini ALL4 Racing crews delivered a one-two-three finish for the team. Nani Roma and his co-driver Michel Périn, racing for the Monster Energy Rally Raid Team, won the stage with a lead of more than six minutes over the Qatar Rally Team pairing Nasser Al-Attiyah and Mathieu Baumel. Meanwhile the Russians Vladimir Vasilyev and Konstantin Zhiltsov finished third. In the overall standings, Al-Attiyah extended his lead over Giniel de Villiers to nearly 24 minutes. Altogether, five MINI ALL4 Racing vehicles now hold top-10 positions.
