STAGE 5 TRACKING


STAGE 5: SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY > UYUNI

Connection 315km | Special Stage 327km | Total 642km

COURSE OVERVIEW

All round vigilance is required for this second part of the marathon stage: in addition to managing mechanics, particularly the tyres, all the drivers will have to pay attention to their own bodies’ reactions. Entry into Bolivia is also marked by an abrupt increase in altitude, rising to 4,600m –the higher point in Dakar’s story- during the day’s special section. Technically, it is also in this stage that the rally steps up a gear, with the first off-piste sections as well as some navigational gems which might be a headache for some navigators…


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

Rumor is that the two on board GPS units have conflicting data on speeding in the control areas. Easy to validate, you just overlay the data on a grid map and do the math. Apparently ASO doesn't know that old Indian trick!

Another timing and scoring site: http://dakar.rally-video.eu/times/cars

That's a nice one. Thx.

Any dunes in today's route? It will be curious to see how Loeb and the Pugs do when they hit the sand.
