STAGE 7 TRACKING


STAGE 7: SALTA > SALTA

Connection 230km | Special Stage 533km | Total 763km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

This mega loop with a 500-km long special stage on the agenda will test the teams’ ability to adapt to changes of pace. After stony terrains at the beginning of the day, some top speeds will be recorded in the second part of the stage, and then the drivers’ road techniques will be tested, and all of this at an average altitude of almost 3,500m. To end this highly emotional day, they will have to cross a vast salt flat extending over twenty or so kilometres: a straight stretch which will make the competitors’ heads spin.


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

Right on Mike. Keep the beer cold and diaper changed ....

and unlike everyone else around me, I was at home for the ball game ;-)

the truck is going along nicely, and with all the bodywork in place

When was this TOG?
Awesom pic.

Looks steeper due to camara tilt.

more aerodynamic today.

When do they switch to Fuel sponcer? Or is that deal over?

with scoring delays, we should be showing thru 5 anytime now
