STAGE 2 TRACKING


STAGE 2: SAN LUIS > SAN RAFAEL

Connection 365km | Special Stage 433km | Total 798km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The fastest special stage of the rally, at least for its first part, will also be the one where drivers will have to face the first dunes. And it won’t just be a brief encounter with sand: in the last 100 kilometres, the exploration of the grey dunes of Nihuil will be even more intensive than during previous visits. The sand is more firm there, but the experience will provide a great deal of insight about each of the competitors’ technical skills. In short it will be a veritable test.

 

The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

No flat tire, some mechanical issue. RG's got some kind of plier or wrench on his hand looking the inboard of the wheel

You know Robby just spreads himself so thin,,,, so much on his plate. This new car is what it is and that's new. He has the new car blues right now. I never expected a whole lot this year but I always hoped. It is all you can do as a fan of one the best off road drivers/builders in the world. I would expect more sad days at this Dakar but expect some podiums are coming as well. This car lacks the dependability of the old car but it has allot more upside. The best is ahead of us and for the GORDINI/HST.

Keep the faith.
