STAGE 3 TRACKING


STAGE 3: TERMAS DE RIO HONDO > SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY

Connection 349km | Special Stage 314km | Total 663km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The format is tighter for the day’s race against the clock... as are the mountain tracks featuring in the special section. Experts in sliding and on the road will be able to showcase their skills here, as long as they stay constantly focused. Those hunting down the leaders will be on high alert during this route, which has been designed for opportunists. But the programme could also be transformed by any rain: even the strongest competitors do not necessarily perform well on heavy ground.


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

No harm no foul.

i to have been following dakar for a long time{back when you got dirt bike mag in mail}all considered with weather and all today was a testament to a small team keeping up with the money , i dont think a lot of readers know how big that is. it used to be single independent teams just wanted to finish.then along came robby !!! what a great day for team speed congrats to all..................ps win ......pps WWiiNNNN

Good point Joseph on privateer team...
Did RG get support at all from Hummer or GM ?
It would be nice to see RG get support for Dakar or SST from GM or Ford.

Yes, GM had some support (engine dept. and wind tunnel time?) for the HUMMER project ,early on.

Well, i can go shovel some fresh snow now.....

gasp x 2

Loeb is "only" media hora ahead ...
GOGOGO team speed !!!

Dropped in for a quick update. Dont have time to read the back posts. How did both cars fare today? Thanks

both moved up from they're starting spots and in the overall order

Everyone needs to remember the yer RG turlted on what, day 2-3? Creed is a green horn yet nothing is broken or crashed out! I give a giant HIGH 5 to Creed and RGs effort! It's way, way, way to early to panic...BTW, how much do we need to contribute to get chat back? Divide it by 20 members and I think we could pull it of, don't you Mike and Tool?

I'm in for a few $
