STAGE 8: SALTA > CALAMA

Connection 510km | Special Stage 302km | Total 812km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

Today the competitors will cross the Andes Cordillera, to begin the Chilean part of the rally. A special transition stage has been marked out there for the last day that cars will progress without overtaking motorcycles and quad bikes. The timed section of the day will be accessible to skilled drivers who are at ease on fast tracks in a closed environment. Drivers are advised to pay attention to their position from the outset to limit the number of overtaking manoeuvres, even though the strict standards regarding the use of the Sentinel system will be carefully monitored at the end of the day.


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

Glad I checked back real quick before going home.
Thanks again TOG!

TOG---I am so glad to hear. I was really getting pissed at the entire tracking system and I am sure if I was frustrated I can just imagine how frustrating it must be for RG at times. Anyway, I will be in my home office tomorrow tracking the stage. You do a great job with the site---I think I can speak for many on this site---THANKS for all you do

Wooohooo!

Looking like RG is 24th overall - still moving up.
About 37 min out of 20th.
