When the sun came up, the Coronels had to hurry their way to the of the special and back to the bivouac. After a short time and a little service to the car, the brothers could continue their adventure into stage 7. And that stage proved to be one of the best for the Dutchmen. Coronel finished in 26th place with a loss of only 1 hour and 44 minutes. They were held up by a flat tyre and had to finish the stage on soft tyres due to a problem with the inflate system.
