STAGE 11 TRACKING


STAGE 11: Arica > Arequipa

Connection 120km | Special Stage 478km | Total 598km


COURSE OVERVIEW

For the Dakar's first day in their country, Peruvians will be entitled to two special stages and additional kilometres for the motorcyclists. After a day spent switching between off-piste sections and areas interspersed with rivers, they will benefit from a moment of camaraderie?: a specific bivouac will be set up for them before they continue exploring Peru. The concept, which had not been tried out again since the camp of Foum Zguid in Morocco during the 2007 Dakar, will also create a major obstacle which will affect the management of the race. The assistance vehicles will not be authorized in the maintenance area, where only the motorcyclists and quad riders will be able to help each other.

i believe in the liason period there is a max speed u can drive and not go over....so if u maintain your speed you overall time variation should not change......RGs changed because he did not mantain speed or proper time between points....(by far an expert but hope this explains)

Ah, so the liaison acts like a road rally rather then an open rally. Well, if you have to fix something you might as well pick an area where you loose as little as possible. Hopefully we will find out what happened within the hour, based on times from other drivers through the last sections.

What's going on with the Hummer? Repair issues from yesterday's incident?

303 should have passed the next way point by now if things were going smoothly

He was 24th to start the 2nd section at WP5. Only 12 are showing through WP6. It seems the live timing isn't always very live.
