International competitors must be in possession of the letter of authorization from their respective National Federation in order to take part at the 2022 Atacama Rally, (in all categories) to be held in Chile between August 27 and September 1, 2022. (International riders who have a valid Annual License issued by the FIM are excepted from this).
