COURSE OVERVIEW

The competitors will be rapidly plunged into the heart of the Argentinean countryside. The combination of the route’s different features means that there will be something for everyone, while sticking to relatively simple criteria, for the time being. Fast tracks coupled with sharp bends will divide up the vehicles, according to the levels of the drivers, who will be tested in an exciting environment which marks this first special stage, but without singling out any particular category. At the end of this warm-up, the day will fi nish with a long liaison section to the first bivouac.

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

Robby's Quote.

"Exactly where we wanted to be"

"The first stage was a very convincing one. I was very cautious and we finished third, one minute behind Nasser. That's exactly where we wanted to be. Johnny did an outstanding job, but we didn't got on the attack. This year's edition should be a great one. Sitting within one minute of the best time is rather good."
