STAGE 8 TRACKING


STAGE 8: SALTA > BELEN

Connection 373km | Special Stage 393km | Total 766km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The change of terrain which marks the entry into the second part of the rally should also mark a change in programme for the drivers, who will face the first dune sections of the 2016 edition. Experts in dunes crossing will have an opportunity to demonstrate their skills and even gain an advantage. They will also notice the navigational difficulties which have been introduced this year to complicate their existence. Louds of minutes could be lost by vehicles blocked in the sand.


The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

depends on the nature of the problems, mech maybe if stuck that's another deal

Yup 2 cars have been good.

Any news regarding the appeal of the earlier penalty?

it sounded like he gave up on it because of performance in a vid I saw. maybe i didn't, lol

I felt the same after that vid.... or, was he continuing with fighting it?
