STAGE 1 TRACKING


STAGE 1: BUENOS AIRES > VILLA CARLOS PAZ

Connection 663km | Special Stage 170km | Total 833km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The competitors will be rapidly plunged into the heart of the Argentinean countryside. The combination of the route’s different features means that there will be something for everyone, while sticking to relatively simple criteria, for the time being. Fast tracks coupled with sharp bends will divide up the vehicles, according to the levels of the drivers, who will be tested in an exciting environment which marks this first special stage, but without singling out any particular category. At the end of this warm-up, the day will fi nish with a long liaison section to the first bivouac.

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

Keep your powder dry.It will be interesting to see what problems the Pugs had. Several other dark horses out there, that are not really good on the tighter course but much better in open country

I'm rooting for the 353 too, it's just a cool car. Finished in 53rd today, what are the odds?

they show the same as yesterday but you would think moving 500 miles west would back that off an hour?

today's special started an hour later-local

right mike. That makes sense since it was so much shorter than tomorrow. But it surprised me that both stages show GMT-3…you know…with the 500 mile move
