STAGE 10 TRACKING


STAGE 10: Iquique > Arica

Connection 317km | Special Stage 377km | Total 694km


COURSE OVERVIEW

The drivers will be overcome with even more intense sensations early in the morning. It is precisely at the beginning of the special stage that they will be deeply moved by a spectacular view, combining sand and waves, which continues for several kilometres. The theme will remain constant, since the most experienced experts will be able to surf on the dunes which stretch out for around a hundred kilometres. On the other hand, the difficult fesh-fesh area that will have to be tackled at the end of the special stage will bring everyone back to the tough reality of the long-distance rally.

Look, on the stage 10 Quotes thread - you see the French translation. If there was an airtube diverted from the tires to the engine intake, that's a big deal - assuming blowing compressed air in the engine boosts performance.

TOG - you have done an amazing job on this site - The Drama in this Dakar is amazing - the threads and shortcuts - awesome - I now see that the NASCAR stuff is small change to the complexity of keeping this site on top of the Dakar event. Amazing job and dedication!
