Jan 10th, 2013 Dakar Rally Stage 6 Race Info & Discussion

Join in and discuss all the action from Stage 6 of the 2013 Dakar Rally. Robby Gordon rebounded in stage 5 with a very nice 3rd place finish. Gordon is still down over 5 hours in the overall and will try to win as many of the remaining stages as he can. The rally now makes its first start in Chile. The cars are slated to begin the special section of stage 6 at 8:33am/et and Robby Gordon will begin his special section around 8:39am/et.  Raceday chat will be available throughout the entire 2013 Dakar Rally. Raceday chat now works on the Ipad & Iphone.

STAGE 6 TRACKING


STAGE 6: ARICA > CALAMA

Connection 331km | Special Stage 454km | Total 785km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The first special stage held in Chile will take competitors back to the Atacama Desert: they will be faced with sand and dunes for two thirds of the distance. But two specific sections of the stage will be timed: the latter will allow them to rediscover fesh fesh, which is unlikely to enthuse them. Overall, the day will be very long, at a stage where the competitors’ bodies will start to suffer from the lack of sleep, particularly for those who have experienced some incidents. At the head of the race, a ranking which is already probable is taking shape: the real candidates for the Top 10 are apparent.

Nasser Buggie Thread

Take a look at page 3 where I posted 2 links about the buggies and builder.

@Fly,it is enteresting given the claimed displacement and restrictor size.The Bugglies shouldn't run that good.have we seen Hummer vs Buggly head to head?

From a basic look the Bugglies are probably a bit lighter than the Hummer as the Hummer appears to be a bit better built and is probably a bit stouter. Last year Robby noted that Nasar drove like a mad man and my guess is the Bubblies will not last much longer particularly the way it is being driven.

Chat isn't working for me, but maybe my office firewall is blocking it.
