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.

Oh dear ! And from the timing, this trouble came right before the finish, like for a lot of other cars.

I am pretty sure. That is the only car so far that has been reported burned. With Chicherit still MIA, who knows. Remember what happened to him last year. Burned to the ground.

You can't win Dakar with just one car.... you have to have a water carrier if you really want a legit chance to win. No one try's harder than Robbie but another car could possibly kept him in the hunt. Just another heartbreak for RG fans :(
