STAGE 2 TRACKING

STAGE 2: VILLA CARLOS PAZ > SAN JUAN

Connection 107km | Special Stage 518km | Total 625km

COURSE OVERVIEW

Any rest will be short-lived, because before reaching San Juan, the competitors will have a particularly busy schedule: quite simply the longest special stage in the rally, which is varied enough to unsettle even the most experienced of drivers. Hard terrain at the start of the race will be followed by dusty sections in the middle of the day and a sandy stretch to finish. This is the first real test, which can only be successfully overcome through constant vigilance.

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

Nasser went through CP1 in first ahead by 26 seconds, just not being tracked at the Way Points (per http://www.trackingdakar.nl/live.php)

Didn't record through WP4 - 6 and didn't track at CP2 either so not sure.. May just be responder issues..

Live comments just stated

12:02 Cars: Leeroy toughing it out with the big boys 33rd on his first Dakar, Poulter Leeroy is putting in a fine performance at the start of the rally. The South African reached CP2 in 3rd position behind the wheel of his Toyota Hilux, 1’23 behind Al-Attiyah

so there is that...
