STAGE 9 TRACKING
STAGE 9: IQUIQUE > CALAMA
Connection 88km | Special Stage 451km | Total 539km
COURSE OVERVIEW
For this farewell session to the Atacama Desert, all the competitors will come together once again for the special stage, with fifty-odd kilometres over sand and dunes. They should revel in these sensations because the next stage will put both drivers and their teams into much less comfortable positions. The routes have suff ered the rages of time and will be equally harsh on them: frequent potholes and bumps combined with the narrowness of the tracks will expose their vehicles’ bodywork to scratches.
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

Text from JC according to RDC
Difficult navigation today.
We think 2-3 cars ahead of us missed a waypoint.
It was a tricky valley with many fingers and ravines.
It was out almost about a mile to the left of way point. We back tracked and found the right road.

Good stage for RG and crew. What I find interesting is that as of now, Stage 9, Peugeot has one car retired, and the other two so far back (14th & 36th) they're out of it.

Anyone know what happened to wp9 on the nl tracker? It was there earlier as we all know but I just got back on to check the final results and it no longer shows on the nl site, just the big gap in times. The Dakar site only shows 10 cars thru.
Still good run for the team!

I think the wp9 issue is a technical problem. I just noticed most of those who registered times there are mostly in bunches of the same time. Even if they were looking for it in groups they wouldn't all connect at the same second.
Will be interesting to see the outcome.

Just to put things in perspective, the furthest back a tenth place car has finished until today was 24 minutes back, during Stage 2, the infamous "marathon" stage.
Today the 10th place car finished 41 minutes back, almost twice as far back, for a stage that was about 20 minutes shorter in length.

Some sadistic ASO perp probably picked a long/lat that was virtually impossible to get to.

When you read JC's comments, he did imply that lots of drivers simply skipped WP9, though he had RG turn around to find it.
Interesting to see how this turns out.
