COURSE OVERVIEW

Today the competitors will cross the Andes Cordillera, to begin the Chilean part of the rally. A special transition stage has been marked out there for the last day that cars will progress without overtaking motorcycles and quad bikes. The timed section of the day will be accessible to skilled drivers who are at ease on fast tracks in a closed environment. Drivers are advised to pay attention to their position from the outset to limit the number of overtaking manoeuvres, even though the strict standards regarding the use of the Sentinel system will be carefully monitored at the end of the day.


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

at 4

lost 2:43

still top ten splits

Is that between 3 & 4?

yes

I have 1:16 or am I reading that wrong?

I don't have 1:16?

I was reading from order of stage position and for me it shows 1:16 at WP4, like I said I could be reading it wrong

On the plus side he has only dropped 6 minutes since stage 1. So whatever caused the delay he is up and moving now.

I have him as 8th in that stage

He did lose 1:16 on section 4. 8th for the section.

Yes section, TY

I see Frenchman Lavieille in the Haval stopped registering at WP3 and is in at 10th place, interesting!
