On September 16 and 17, the Suzuki Atacama Owners Raid took place, as a prelude to the Suzuki Owners Raid that will occur next January 2022. The test race was carried out in the city of Copiapó (Chile), in the Mar de Dunas sector in the Atacama region, with more than 70 vehicles and 200 registered participants, including pilots and assistants.
Ascent and skill tests were held throughout the event, with competitors from all over Chile participating across the divisions of novices and experts. Among the participating drivers was Miguel Ángel Bustamante, sponsored by Alphalube (Olipes partner in Chile), at the controls of a Suzuki Vitara especially adapted in the last two months for the Raid.
