STAGE 1 TRACKING
STAGE 1: ROSARIO > SAN LUIS
Connection 629km | Special Stage 180km | Total 809km
COURSE OVERVIEW
The competitors will wake up early to set off along the road in the region of Cordoba and start the race on some narrow tracks which will require the utmost vigilance. Each one will still be very fresh allowing them to tackle the stony sections or the blind jumps serenely. The competitors’ driving skills will be rewarded at the finish, where they will have already clocked up 800 kilometres. Although the gaps will not be significant at this stage of the race, it is nevertheless important to maintain their position in the part of the standings that they are aiming for!
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

" I was supposed to race one of the Hummers I sold to Yazid Al Rajhi (Saudi Arabian driver who bought Gordon's two Hummers). But he is injured and has decided to stop his Dakar project. This put me in a delicate situation with quite a bit of pressure. So, I began building a new car for the Dakar. I drove the car for the first time in November."
This is not hard to understand. RG had to call an audible.

In reality it sucks for us at home hoping to see good things happen over our computer screens but in reality it sucks for the two people in the car the people that are there supporting the car and anyone else that put time in building the car
as long as he is able to finish each stage and finish the race it will still be enjoyable to watch the race progress
while being a fan of Robby there is one thing I have always disagreed with the mantra the the second finisher is the first loser..... I have always gone by the mantra you race yourself and you do your best with the equipment you have.... someone in racing is always going to outspend you sometimes you beat them sometimes you do not.... with each mile or lap you do your best to improve and go from there

Thanks WJM. The disappointment in Robby's voice is gut wrenching!

I for one, am so sick of all the experts, armchairs QB's, racers-that-know-better, super genius's, really smart people, MMR's, etc, that seem to know so much about everything related to racing, that I just want to hear what RG has to say. People, we're just fans. It's his design, his team, his show, we are only sitting here, on the sidelines watching. Shut the hell up! Not you regular guys...

Rather than just sit back and name call about the so called "experts" why not explain to me logically and defend your opinion.
Just because you don't like somebody's opinion about something doesn't mean you go on a childish rant. Tell me, educate me how I'm wrong about the direction thing have went and seem to be going.
Give me some rationale behind your optimism.
I'm far from an expert, but I have a fair amount of racing experience. I'll gladly compare my resume to yours, if you like.

"Give me some rationale behind your optimism"
because bitching and complaining,couch chiefing from North America will solve nothing. It just makes you sound like a know it all.Glass mostly empty type of person.I'm beginning to remember why I'm happy 'Robby' (not Rob) said screw stock cars.
