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.

Long liaison (neutral section, controlled speed) from WP4 to WP5.

What parts can you carry...? There must be a weight VS. time loss VS.Top speed VS. what will break formula....correct. We talked about this before in years past. Remember Speed Factory......? It would KILLER in this shit .....Sorry about my language ..I know Killer is not a word our princess society wants to hear but it fits how great it would be to see a "We are bringing X amount of water and extra _____pully an extra _____belt........2 wheels....a hammer 3 pounds of Jerky a skeleton key and a can of coffee....not to jest but hell man..i'm the guy......The guy who always ....you know... like when the other guys horse shoe is coming in for the final ringer and I step and catch it and roll it back....

You have enough parts to fix any thing when a second car is right behind you......just have to top em off before the start.

You sir make no f'ing sense!

stick around, he makes more sense than most-always has.

its michael martinez he never does make sense its more of an analogy

So there was confirmation it was a fuel pump?

was just a guess the question mark didn't make the trip.....when you run em dry they can be damaged because the fuel cools and lubes them..

Nissan has just released the Titan XD pickup, a heavy duty truck highlighted by a 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel engine. With the unveiling of the Titan Warrior concept here in Detroit, it's clear Nissan is already thinking of how to turn the Titan XD into a full-blown off-roader.
Runs great, but uses too much fuel and def.
Made up 50 positions, Thats gotta be some sorta record!

That will drop drastically as the times fill in
