The goddess of victory smiled upon HINO in the race.

The rally start day overlaped with the ceremony to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the independence of both countries. The course direction shifted towards due north immediately after starting from Buenos Aires. Although the road surface was hard right after the starting point, the course continued across the Atacama Desert in Chile, the climax stage of this rally, after traversing the Andes Mountain range. Five of the stages penetrated the inner regions of the Atacama Desert. After driving north to Iquique, race entrants rested for a day in the coastal city of Antofagasta. The vehicles then proceeded to Argentina after crossing the Andes Mountains once again. This race tested the endurance of both participants and vehicles over rough and varied terrain.
