In the SSV, the Atacama Rally 2022, although it is part of the SSV CODASUR-FIA Cup, will also be part of the “Road To Dakar”, which gives a free registration to the best Rookie driver who has never participated in the Dakar Rally 2023.

In the category Motorcycles and quads, the riders will be able to choose to run in FIM Baja on two rounds; the first from August 27-30 2022 and the second from August 31 to  September 1 2022.

Those who want to compete in the 5 stages and the more than 1.700 kilometers of competitive special will be able to do so to qualify for the Latin American FIM and the Atacama International Rally in Cross Country Rally mode. This modality will be the only one for rookie riders who want to qualify to be able to register and participate in the Dakar 2023.

As a whole, the Atacama Rally in any of its modalities will be developed in a loup system, establishing a unique Bivouac where the competitors of the different categories will share their incredible sporting experiences and, above all, the friendship that unites the Cross Country Rally family.

Thus, and after 2 years of instability as a result of the pandemic, the Atacama Rally returns with all its strength to position itself as the best Cross Country Rally on the continent and for this we have thought of a unique and high-level sporting route, incorporating new desert sectors, where competitors will be able to enter the spectacular Atacama desert and the incredible landscapes of northern Chile.
