STAGE 7 TRACKING


STAGE 7: SALTA > SALTA

Connection 230km | Special Stage 533km | Total 763km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

This mega loop with a 500-km long special stage on the agenda will test the teams’ ability to adapt to changes of pace. After stony terrains at the beginning of the day, some top speeds will be recorded in the second part of the stage, and then the drivers’ road techniques will be tested, and all of this at an average altitude of almost 3,500m. To end this highly emotional day, they will have to cross a vast salt flat extending over twenty or so kilometres: a straight stretch which will make the competitors’ heads spin.


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

sainz called his shot and is following up on it!

how is Sainz so fast today, driving a 2 wheel drive

Remember before the race?
Head Honcho at Mini camp said the 2wheel drives had a hugh advantage and it was unfair.

thru the ruff stuff not on gravel rd like today

Robby Gordon's Hummer has remained stationary at km 281 of the cars' special for twenty minutes now. The reason for this is not known yet.

20 minutes is more like 1hr now

14:27 Cars: Gordon at a standstill

I just hope the motor didn't pop. You can't change the block and it's been a tough rally on the LS7.

how much can you mod the engine or does it have to be stock?

'production,stock'

as far as compression, but you can upgrade components, steel crank, better bal. mill heads
