STAGE 1 TRACKING
STAGE 1: LIMA > PISCO
Connection 250km | Special Stage 13km | Total 263km
COURSE OVERVIEW
It won’t be long before competitors will be singled out, but for the moment, the mini special stage organised on the outskirts of Pisco will principally be used to divide up the drivers into categories according to their level, who in turn will reassemble during the rally. The initial stage won’t be as stiff as the drink that made the region famous, but the picture postcard landscape is especially appealing. The concentration required over the several timed kilometres will still allow the competitors to admire the scenery. Nevertheless, the light-hearted attitude and relaxed driving style adopted by the competitors during this first day must not mislead them: the Dakar has really begun.
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

if i understand the 5x factor for today's scoring i don't like the rule at all. if your beat 5s thats 25s ? what if you get a flat or get stuck or somthing 5 m = 25m ? 1hour =5 hours!!!!! that's ridicules. today is for the fans .. anybody with a problem could be put in a huge defeatist

It was changed to 3x. The reason is to make everybody go flat out for the fans as well as to reduce sandbagging.
