The Chile Hummer, #326, was disqualified for being towed and missing checkpoints in stage 3. Sucks for Carlo and all his fans in Chile.

Correction He was DQ'd for missing waypoints not for being towed. It is OK to be towed by another competitor. The 528 towed him and the 528 is racing.

So when does the "pending validation of the race marshalls" become "official" for this stage win?
