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.

Sorry this is a bit off topic but I can't figure the appropriate place to ask & people keep mentioning them here so ...

... the stickers - can we order some of each on 1 order? They only come up separate for me.

Go to main page of this site (tool bar near top of page). Just below the featured video you see the Dakar sticker #308 click on that image. Awesome Sticker got mine a week or so ago.

Yes, I figured that out but the two stickers seem to only be purchased on separate orders there. I was wondering if there was a way to order some of both styles on one order.
