Jan 7th Dakar Rally Stage 5 Race Chat

Join us for the Dakar Rally on Jan 7, 2009 , right here and chat about the action during the 5th stage.Robby begins the day 9th overall in the standings.


Stage 5 - Wednesday, January 7
Neuquen > San Rafael
Connection: 173 km | Special: 506 km | Connection: 84 km | Total: 763 km
The major test of the first week of the race will perhaps be fought on the road to San Rafael. The long distance will oblige teams to remain concentrated at all times. The pilots will also be confronted with real dune passageways, including a range nearly twenty kilometers long. Long off-road stretches will alternate with much more technical sections in the track following the “rios”. The Cordillera can be seen on the horizon, but taking time to sightsee is out of the question: a too-late arrival at the bivouac always leaves a mark.

reading the news that Sainz lost a front hoot and peterhansael lost a rear deck in the sand. Looks like the Hummer was sand-friendly

High Altitude, the Turbo Diesels cant suck enough air to keep up with a normally aspirated LS7. Game is changing baby. Let go higer and rougher, and the hummer is going to tear them a new one.

If noone posts a faster time than Robby, Robby should start 3rd since the start is based on the finish of the previous day's stage.
