A forced change in the schedule for the first stage of the Sertões BRB, between Brasília and Formosa (GO). The collapse of a bridge at kilometer 86 of the special stage led the race directors to suspend the timed section on Saturday (24).
The rally's technical team searched until the early hours of the morning for alternatives so that the competitors could start and compete in the first kilometers against the clock of this edition. As there was no possibility of creating a detour and repairs to the bridge would take longer than available, the stage was transformed into a journey to Formosa.
This Sunday, drivers and navigators leave the city of Goiás for Santa Maria da Vitória (BA). It will be the longest stage of the Sertões BRB 2024, with 670 km, 336 of them timed.
