STAGE 8 TRACKING
STAGE 8: SALTA > SAN MIGUEL DE TUCAMAN
Connection 379km | Special Stage 470km | Total 849km
COURSE OVERVIEW
The Tucuman route will be divided into two timed sections with a variety of scenery. With hoodoos, canyons and cacti, the competitors will discover the red and green backdrop of Argentina’s most beautiful natural landscape, which will unfold for more than 150 km creating a Western atmosphere. During the second half of the timed section, which will take place in a region completely unknown to the Dakar, the contrast will be apparent on the sandy and sometimes tricky tracks. It may also be manifested through the weather conditions, if the wind is combined with the high temperatures which ravage the region. The rest day will rarely have been more deserved, in particular for the motorcyclists who will finish their marathon stage..

What really gets to me is in Stage 1, the Hummer got stuck for a few minutes but the down time was multiplied by 3, making it like it was stuck 3 times as long or 3 times on the stage. Yes, those were the rules going in, but hardly seems fair to compensate for a shorter stage. Why didn’t they just drive the loop 3 times?
Now Stage 8, Nasser gets his Buggly stuck, and is given all the time back because he couldn’t drive on.
