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.

It's the Dakar, Sh#t happens. Only 6 people have finished, so others may be having problems also. Take a chill pill

That might be from yesterday since he is missing his top again. Unless he started without it to try and fix the cooling issues.

Dang , there goes the sealed cabin.....NO air conditioning..
.
To be competitive in the Dakar, takes a year long project with NO other distractions and racing other ralley's to season the equipment/team....I give him HUGE credit for having the Balls and Bucks to built test and take the green in what? 4 months? Its good for the SPEED product line, so in that sense it a victory so far

Before Yazeed got injured and decided not to race they evolved the Hummer even more, FIA approved and more power, Robby was gonna drive one of them… Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nERItWTLaMM

I watched that video of the Gordini on the side of the road.
Appeared like the right side tire was turned far more than the left & RG was working in/under the right side.
I'd guess steering linkage from what I saw. But thats from 2000 miles away so I very well could be wrong.

I think you got it wrong Carl. Insanity equals not having a enough cars in the race. Over 7 years I would think a couple of overalls by now. Great equipment, just not enough drivers
