STAGE 2 TRACKING


STAGE 2: SAN LUIS > SAN RAFAEL

Connection 365km | Special Stage 433km | Total 798km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The fastest special stage of the rally, at least for its first part, will also be the one where drivers will have to face the first dunes. And it won’t just be a brief encounter with sand: in the last 100 kilometres, the exploration of the grey dunes of Nihuil will be even more intensive than during previous visits. The sand is more firm there, but the experience will provide a great deal of insight about each of the competitors’ technical skills. In short it will be a veritable test.

 


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

lol

Best to get a tow from a proven winner and a dear friend as well. The names of Peterhansel and Allatiyah immediatly pop up.

Not going to make up much ground if he has to get a tow every day.

At least it gets him to the end of the course.

Survive to fight another day. I'll be there to watch the fight again tomorrow if he gets to the finish.

feel bad for both robs,kinda humbling

When things get this bad ..I just close my eyes and picture the 77 TT going by in Parker..Osborn wash at 90+ MPH last year....

or the orange Hummer flying down that hill

When things go this bad I picture RG leading the Daytona 500 until Trevor Bayne rips of his back end.

Oh man!! just making my reservations for parker!! :) thanks FD.. put a smile on my face

we will be in the 3022 see ya there

I thought he talked of running the HST at Parker? I don't know the rules however so don't know if its possible. He should run it in the 500 & 1000 as well for more testing.
