On January 13, the 2022 Dakar Rally ended the SS11 501 km challenge in Bisha. This track dominated by sand and dunes can be said to be a door-to-door test for drivers to the closing platform, and the difficulty makes the drivers sigh.
The two cars of the Hanwei Motorsports team continued to complete the special 345.94 km stage with a solid posture. The No. 220 Han Wei Mali group improved the overall result to the 37th place in the car group with a result of 21st place in the car group, and the No. 273 Tianpo Du Xuan yi car group completed this stage with the 39th place in the car group, and the total result came to the 31st place in the car group.
On 14 January, the SS12 stage will be 680 km long, and the drivers will depart from the Bisha camp and travel through 164 km of special stages and 416 km of driving sections to finally board the closing platform at the Jeddah F1 Circuit, ending the 14-day race of more than 8,000 km. The two racing cars of the HanWei Motorsport Team will continue to play steadily and strive to draw a successful end to the race with a good posture.

KM0 tests the technology of navigating the winding gravel roads through the canyon with great difficulty
KM90 It's hard to find the right track and trajectory. Constantly changing directions, it is difficult to maintain a correct speed. It's easy to miss intersections.
KM100 through the canyon more undulating, navigating the plains is still difficult
The KM150 track is not obvious. Note that there are a lot of ruts at the end of the 10KM in the canyon.
There are plenty of tents throughout the track
The KM40 at the beginning of the track is very narrow and a lot of stones
Due to the many ruts, it is difficult to navigate
The PK132 crosses the Dakar Classics track, so there is a speed limit of 30
There are parallel tracks with the Classic group and there may be some soot
The track is divided into two parts
The first part is hard pavement, some parts are narrow, there are many stones next to it, and the first 50KM of smoke is large
Then the ground is sandy and meandering, with little smoke
Driving section B should pay attention to traffic conditions, there are many cars and construction.
The unavoidable exit KM322.39 (KM60.12 Road Section B) leaves the main road, the exit is small and not obvious
KM413 (km151 driving section B) to KM462 (km200 driving section B) is very dangerous!!
Beware of thunderstorms in the afternoon
