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.

Tend to agree. On the other hand Carlos Souza is a one man band. He finished 6th twice, so see how he goes this year

Can add in a very new team for this year. Previously he was driving the HAVAL Chinese Diesel Pickups with a 3litre engine.

Sounds like Stage 2 was about like a Baja 1000 run to the tip!
