STAGE 6 TRACKING


STAGE 6: UYUNI > UYUNI

Connection 181km | Special Stage 542km | Total 723km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The longest special section of the Dakar takes place on the 6th day of consecutive racing. And that is not the only difficulty of this operation, which will take place between 3,500 and 4,200m in altitude. The pace and surfaces change constantly, alternating between sand and rock, which may be disconcerting, especially if it rains. Glimpses of the Salar d’Uyuni are but one of the visual delights on the agenda. Meanwhile, the truck category, which will race separately on this 6th stage, will visit the home town of the President Evo Morales.

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

If it is tracking he should be approaching 12 soon.

Last time I saw something like this, with this many cars late. It was that crazy WP stage a couple years ago.

I think something is up with traffic. Kamaz #500 keeps disappearing and showing up again. I hope tracking is the case

I don't think cars and trucks are on same track at this point.

May be wrong.

You are right! trucks are running a shorter special today. I meant to say the tracking devices have not been reliable.

I hopeing if it was a major issue, something would have been reported by now.

It's not tracking problem, Terranova and Roma in and they started 9th and 10th.
