Al Attiyah finished third in second place behind Petrancell, but the star saw the driver climb to the top after just 24 hours, beating the Frenchman who did not find enough in his bag to catch up with the Toyota driver.
Today, the marathon – the highest of the rally – was marked by the arrival of competitors to challenge their collection on 405 kilometers between the cities of Arequipa and Moguija, the latter located in the south from Lima.
Al-Attiyah was the most powerful ring of the second checkpoint, where he took advantage at the expense of Petrancell and did not give up before crossing the line. Arrival with a total time of 3 hours, 38 minutes and 49 seconds.
A minute later, Frenchman Yakov Berzigonski, who held the same position in the first and third stages, finished second.
In the overall standings, Al Attiyah is leading the overall standings with a total of 12 hours, 12 minutes and 57 seconds, 8 minutes and 55 seconds ahead of Petrancell.
Nani Roma was fourth ahead of Sébastien Loeb, driver of the Peugeot 3000 "DKR", closest to Attia and Bertransil, before retreating in the final kilometers and finishing fifth.
Saudi driver Yazid Al Rajhi is ranked sixth ahead of Carlos Sainz, who returned to competition after the "calamity" of the third leg.
Cyril Debre, Boris Garafolic and Harry Hunt finished in the top ten.
Genille de Villiers had another bad day, wasting a lot of time while he stopped to help Dutchman Bernhard Tin Brinky. Attiyah has thus become the spearhead of Toyota, where he will do everything possible to help him win the 41st edition of the rally.
