El pilot catarí, Nasser Al-Attiyah guanya la quarta etapa i continua augmentant a poc a poc la distància amb la resta de perseguidors. Mini continua dominant la categoria de cotxes.
La quarta etapa del Dakar 2015, una especial de 315 Km, creuava la frontera amb Xile deixant arrere el sòl argentí a través del Pas de San Francisco.
El guanyador d’esta etapa va ser el pilot de Mini, Nasser Al-Attiyah, que continua dominant els trams i augmenta la diferència amb la resta de pilots, la qual cosa a poc a poc li acosta al titul encara que inclús queda molt ral·li per disputar.
El segon a arribar a la meta hui va ser Nani Roma, qui a pesar que tinga molt poques opcciones o cap, continua barallant per ascendir en la classificació. De Villiers seria tercer amb el seu Toyota.
La desgràcia s’esquer en esta etapa amb Carlos Sainz que amb un problema amb el turbo del seu Peugeot, va perdre moltíssim temps i pràcticament totes les seues opcions de tornar a guanyar el Dakar. Un altre amb problemes va ser Orland Terranova que també va patir un problema mecànic perdent molt de temps. I l’altre pilot de Peugeot, Cyril Despres va tindre problemes amb la seua caixa del canvi.
D’altra banda, en Peugeot, el francés, Peterhansel comença a agafar ritme amb el seu cotxe i ha estat a punt de disputar-li l’etapa a Al-Attiyah, però un problema en les dunes li va fer descendir a la quinta posició.
Veurem si en les pròximes etapes Al-Attiyah continua dominant amb puny de ferro o sorgix alguna alternativa al seu regnat.
