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.

It is great hot sauce. I ordered 20 wings last night and applied the sauce to it. Get the limited edition dakar version.

Not vinegary and only one with Dakar label that I saw. Even smells good when you open it.

Sure would be nice if they could stop the overheating issues so we could see what that new truck could do....
Always has been fun watching Robby come from behind and pick them of at every way point...
