STAGE 12 TRACKING

STAGE 12: FIAMBALA > COPIAPO

Connection 396km | Special Stage 319km | Total 715km

COURSE OVERVIEW

This time the competitors will cross the Andes Cordillera from east to west, by the Paso San Francisco, and return to the Atacama Desert to experience every kind of difficulty that exists in a long-distance rally. The major sections of dunes are situated right in the centre of the special stage: the participants will have to climb the “cathedral” dunes and avoid entering the basins which are just as big. It won’t be any easier on the tracks, where rocks and stones, despite being scattered around, can immediately bring the fastest of them to a halt. Those who reach Copiapó with a perfect performance will score points for the overall standings.

Then Billy had better edit it pretty quickly and give us the source tags. The planet will go rabid with that post.

Obviously you have a hair up your arse regarding Robby, so much emotion for one guy.

Robby gives the fans and crowd what he wants. Every video of crowds I have seen for Dakar show them clapping and cheering for Robby and not the others, but then I guess I am biased being a Robby fan and thats what this site is for Robby fans.

It looks to be a snobby Brit who has to survive the horror of living in the US with us idiots and is also a horrible writer.
