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.

Yes he is. Was 2 minutes behind at WP7 and only 26 seconds behind him at WP8. Hopefully RG will be ahead of him at WP9

Still working for me. One just has to be among the privileged few it seems.

When the chat room gets to full they select on your score for the test. Lowest score---> first out High score---> last out. I guess you didn't do very well. Sheer up Dustin, after several months you can take a resit.
