STAGE 2 TRACKING

STAGE 2: Cordoba > San Miguel de Tucuman

Connection 440km | Special Stage 324km | Total 764km

COURSE OVERVIEW

For this stage entirely covering new ground, the competitors’ compass bearings will be set to the north, leading the rally into a backdrop of forest which will remind some observers of bush landscapes. During part of the day, the bikes and quads will again be separated from the cars and trucks. The acrobats on two wheels will have a field day on an old track where jumps are plentiful and sometimes spectacular. In the cockpits of the cars, the drivers can also expect a bumpy ride: endless hops and bounds as well as blind corners will be on the menu.

Maybe they missed a point and will have penalties coming.

looks like robby runs with the best of them ween its mostly flat or down hill but looses ground ween its mostly up hill i think between 2wd and that dam restrictor plate were a little behind in this road race style mostly down hill rest of stage plus the bumps are cumming gas on

That plate has been a concern I have had for a while now.

But 4WD would be a big help unless there are reliability issues with putting it on the Hummers.

Anyone know what brand The 7 will be flying this year yet?

May be time to change from the hummer.
