STAGE 2 TRACKING


STAGE 2: VILLA CARLOS PAZ > SAN JUAN

Connection 107km | Special Stage 518km | Total 625km

COURSE OVERVIEW

Any rest will be short-lived, because before reaching San Juan, the competitors will have a particularly busy schedule: quite simply the longest special stage in the rally, which is varied enough to unsettle even the most experienced of drivers. Hard terrain at the start of the race will be followed by dusty sections in the middle of the day and a sandy stretch to finish. This is the first real test, which can only be successfully overcome through constant vigilance.

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

I blame the -5dF temp here in MN.

Probably finish 1h40m back, we're screwed.

Al-Attiyah doesn't make sense, missing every single waypoint and checkpoint but arriving 8 minutes faster then everyone else.

ASO radios have always had glitches... some they overlook, some they penalize.

Need to give Robby a I Pad, then we could locate with Apple recovery

I always thought it was a shame they don't allow any other GPS devices besides theirs in the car. A SPOT tracking system on the back would be fun for those of us following at home.
