STAGE 9 TRACKING


STAGE 9: SAN MIGUEL DE TUCAMAN > CORDOBA

Connection 259km | Special Stage 593km | Total 852km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

Trucks will have pride of place when the rally resumes, only competing in one of the two parts of the special stage, but they will have the rare privilege of setting off first. The stage’s profile with quick tracks will be favourable to specialists of torturous routes. In the other categories, as the distance has been doubled it will also allow for an additional, much more technical section, where, in particular, the drivers will negotiate the bends in the forest. They will have to watch out for trees, given that the rapid assistance trucks won’t have access to the route. The competitors will have to be extremely vigilant over the entire distance, which is, for all except for the bikers, the rally’s longest special stage.

Robby said it best " I could care less about Nasser"I agree. Things get tough and he packs up and goes home. RG keeps going even when he's told to go home! Please leave the Nascar compairisions out of this, it's apples and oranges and those who do it just like to bitch! And what's this crap about driving error and coming to close to a tree?? too close? either you hit the "F"ing tree or you missed it! don't sugar coat it!.....GAS ON ROBBY!!

+1

Agreed. If he felt so little respect for his competitors, there would be no point in competing! If we have any respect for this sport, we should extend some respect to those engaged in the sport.

I'm weeping, give him a I partisapated ribbon.

Sorry you find this objectionable but what Nasser did last year was chicken shit to say the least. As for Robby's comment about Nasser in the video our interpitations differ greatly. Nasser's treatment of RG and the team last year was shabby and Peterhansel and Roma's comments about Robby shows what arrogant punks they truley are so I'm not going to sit here and wish Nasser goodwill because he's driving an American built car and I won't praise Peterhansel's driving abilities when he's shown what an elitist prick he really is. And if a fans karma really effected a driver Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson would only have 2 Chanpionships each.

Just read you're last comment I was born and raised in SoCal and "Midwestern Values" can bite me! Way to show respect by slamming Cali!!

Im a NEW YORKER and supposedly we have horrible attitudes so ill prove it right . Nasser is a fricken overrated , rich boy and Peterhansel is a stuck up sob . Neither of them would know hard work and dedication if it bit them on their asses .

but your an UP state'r!

True lol but not many people know the difference lol .

actually, there's a ton more talent there than 15. Jeff, most statements are made by fans not racers,I take most of it with a grain of salt.

LMAO

Now that's funny, I am like you I respect his competitors.nuff said

LOL, not enough!.... Look Jeff you cast the first stone so I threw it back! We have very different opinions and we don't have to comment on them, we don't have to like them or agree. But at some point we will run into common ground.
