STAGE 8 TRACKING
STAGE 8: SALTA > CALAMA
Connection 510km | Special Stage 302km | Total 812km
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.

A mystery hour that was added to our time, right at the start. Otherwise fairly fast, apparently.

He rolled off about where he should have according to the Dakar site but then it did take them a while to show him as leaving and when I trying to calculate when his times appeared it seems to precise for them to have stopped an hour.
