STAGE 10 TRACKING

STAGE 10: Iquique > Arica

Connection 317km | Special Stage 377km | Total 694km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The drivers will be overcome with even more intense sensations early in the morning. It is precisely at the beginning of the special stage that they will be deeply moved by a spectacular view, combining sand and waves, which continues for several kilometres. The theme will remain constant, since the most experienced experts will be able to surf on the dunes which stretch out for around a hundred kilometres. On the other hand, the difficult fesh-fesh area that will have to be tackled at the end of the special stage will bring everyone back to the tough reality of the long-distance rally.

If the car doesnt start the next stage, then boys have at it. I was told that they WILL race stage 11 tomorrow, so thats what I am prepping for. The rest is out of everyones hands, except the ASO. So you,me, and dupree wont know until you see an OFFICIAL release that he lost the appeal( if any ) from Dakar.
