STAGE 9 TRACKING


STAGE 9: IQUIQUE > CALAMA

Connection 88km | Special Stage 451km | Total 539km

COURSE OVERVIEW

For this farewell session to the Atacama Desert, all the competitors will come together once again for the special stage, with fifty-odd kilometres over sand and dunes. They should revel in these sensations because the next stage will put both drivers and their teams into much less comfortable positions. The routes have suff ered the rages of time and will be equally harsh on them: frequent potholes and bumps combined with the narrowness of the tracks will expose their vehicles’ bodywork to scratches.

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