STAGE 10 TRACKING


STAGE 10: CORDOBA > LA RIOJA

Connection 279km | Special Stage 353km | Total 632km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The masters of the handlebars and the steering wheel will be most at ease when faced with the challenge of the day. Although the cars and trucks will be separated from the motorcycles, their respective programmes will have similar features. Winding tracks will be interspersed with fast ones, as the competitors pass through a succession of landscapes from wooded areas to barren plateaux. The whole setting may remind the most open-minded participants of Ireland in some places!

If you are having Java related issues, you need to remove older than version 7-11.
Then google "get java" and download version 7-11 or use the link provided
I was told not to simply update the older version

Gordon and De Villiers finish in the top 5

After the trio of X-Raid drivers, Giniel de Villiers has achieved the day's fourth placed finish, 5'26" behind the winner and Robby Gordon has finished in fifth, 6'51" behind Terranova. Only the first five cars have finished, so these results are merely provisional.

Good day for RG's 2 wheel drive Hummer Vs. the 4x4 X-Raid Team on WRC style course.

Yeah another great day for RG overall. Shows how much skill he has, and how well dialed in the Hummer is. Hopefully tomorrow he can finally pull off a stage win.

Pretty much a win for Robby today. Nice run!
If anyone has a heart, check out the progress of #445. Race2recovery team. Good story. It's been a hard race for them but would love to see them finish.

I've been keeping up with them Steve. They are inspiring

While I appreciate your enthusiasm, its pretty much a fifth place finish, not pretty much a win.

If it wasn't for the first couple of days, RG would be in the top 5 but he is still having a great run! As to Nasser, it just go to show you can't throw money at a buggy builder and run an untested design.

I think if he was in the hunt he would be pushing a little more. Im guessng top three at this point, but, if wishes were fishes....
