Today the half part of SS4 from the beginning of the SS4 until the PC area has been CXL.
The reason for the first half of the SS4 been CXL because it isnft having been raining during since the event started and the weather is very sunny and very hot. The machine is getting enough sun and temperature of the course area is too hot. The road condition is very good so the challenger will go on high speed which may cause accident. Therefore, the official calls out for Cancellation, for the safety of the driver and riders.
Despise the cancellation of the LEG 3fs SS3 yesterday. The officials are explaining that malfunction of the measurement equipment since they have cross the border. The official couldnft measure the penalties; GPS so no one is doing foul play, the official couldnft follow those measurements so cancellation has been called yesterdayfs SS3. At the SS4 stage the entire challenger wanted to make up their lost time but it was very unfortunate. But whatfs done is done so challengers forgets whatfs done and get back what left of their rally.

Due to the cancellation SS4 has been cut short, originally distance was 188.35km but now it is only 76.36km. The road condition of the half of SS4 is very dry and sandy so it is very easy to slide, also there are many whole on the road which it was created by other motorist, when the weather condition was rainy day. So the road is not flat.
Even the condition of the road is bad, but top team is flying through those wholes wildly like no whole there, and jumping through those whole roughly may stress out and damage the car.
The bikes started first follow by 4WD, reporter were worried during the middle of the SS4 the bikers were kept coming down but none of the rally car didnft show up the road.
Accident? Then reporters getting reports that some construction company trying to plug the whole on the road so the truck is plugging the road no car couldnft go through but the bikes were be able to through the side of the truck. So the official called the rally to put on halt. Then official to move a Convoy restart the rally to a position 15.62km of the SS4 to cut short to 60.74km.
