STAGE 12 TRACKING


STAGE 12: Arequipa > Nasca


Connection 412km | Special Stage 245km | Total 657km


COURSE OVERVIEW

Only a flight over the region can allow the Nazca Lines, mysterious motifs created in the ground more than 2,000 years ago, to be admired. The route of the special stage creates another line on the map of Peru which looks like a sand dragon. Although the areas of dunes are evenly spread out, the competitors will definitely remember one of them, which made a deep impression on the reconnaissance team. The dunes follow one after another continuously for almost twenty kilometres, transporting the drivers to a new dimension. As the sand will remain firm in this string of dunes, it will help the drivers to cross them without too much difficulty. But the most skilled dune-crossers will nevertheless be able to create a surprise, in particular three days before the final finish. Those who remember how to perform the "Mauritanian swerve" can save some precious minutes.

The American is still up for the fight and determined to put on a show: he leads the car category by more than two minutes at CP1 after 72 km of the day’s special stage. With a total time of 39’11”, he leads Holowczyc by 2’29”.

John Ya got me by 4seconds.
Are you cheating.
Do you have an unapproved enter key?

He has a can of air next to his keyboard. :D

It gives him a 30 second advantage so I actually beat him by 26 seconds.
