STAGE 1 TRACKING


STAGE 1: ROSARIO > SAN LUIS

Connection 629km | Special Stage 180km | Total 809km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The competitors will wake up early to set off along the road in the region of Cordoba and start the race on some narrow tracks which will require the utmost vigilance. Each one will still be very fresh allowing them to tackle the stony sections or the blind jumps serenely. The competitors’ driving skills will be rewarded at the finish, where they will have already clocked up 800 kilometres. Although the gaps will not be significant at this stage of the race, it is nevertheless important to maintain their position in the part of the standings that they are aiming for!

 

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

Obama supporters are all backing a PIECE OF SHIT.

So I think you may be just a touch off on the comparison here because Robby and RGM are far from that.

Looks like they ditched the rear cover to aid in the cooling issues.

22:43 Cars: Gordon crosses the line
The American crossed the finish line a few minutes ago, conceding 2 h 08'06' to today's winner, Portugal's Carlos Sousa (Haval). The man at the wheel of the no. 305 Hummer had string of mishaps after starting the special behind schedule. Most strikingly, his prototype lost its rear hood, which had to be retrieved by one of the organisers' cars.

Check out my thread with RG's stage results, on the front page, you can see all the previous years. We've had difficult starts to the rally before, just got to start knocking out some consistent stages and make up some time.
