Volkswagen maintained its one-two lead, but a change at the top of the leader board saw Giniel de Villiers/Dirk von Zitzewitz take the lead over former leaders Carlos Sainz/Michel Périn. de Villiers/von Zitzewitz clinched their second stage victory on the way from Zouérat to Atâr in Mauritania.

The South African-German duo that won the stage ahead of French Mitsubishi driver Stéphane Peterhansel and the Spanish-French Volkswagen factory team of Carlos Sainz/Michel Périn is lying 1.39 minutes in front of Sainz/Périn after seven stages in the Race Touareg. Up to the halfway point Volkswagen scored five of seven possible stage victories, with the Race Touareg 2 having maintained the lead throughout the rally since it started on 6 January.
