Mini 580 - Mini Globe Race - Panama - Leg 1

Meanwhile, 14 of the 15 participants reached the finish of the first stage in Panama. Only Gary Swindail AUS, who started late, is still underway with 250 miles to go. Christian Sauer GER finished 6th. The Minis will now be transported by road to the Pacific coast...they are too small to use the canal. The start of the second leg along the equator to Fidji is on 23 March.
