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.

Really not a surprise, like Audi, they have some extremely good racing Diesels. Audi and Peugot ( before Pug pulled out last year) were the top contenders at Le Mans

Small potatoes really, but Peugeot pulled the LMP program during testing right before Sebring 12 Hours, 2012.

Beating the VW Corporation at a prestigious race like LeMans is no "small potatoes" .European meltdown forced them Pug to drop their racing program
