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.

RIGHT ON...see fun is everywhere

It's an uphill battle with the ASO for Teem Speed. I don't understand why SC didn't remove all the windshield rather that just a small hole, would of been much easier to see.

They only had one pair of goggles with them.

I hope that they plan better than that, not the first time Team Speed had to continue with out a windshield.

Robby wants to be treated fairly,,,, and he's not as far as I can tell.

Nice video. Thanks Chupa

Very cool
Hey, a lot of consistency, Sheldon is doing awesome, Robby is running like a madman, and a lot of road ahead.

Nothing to be ashamed of.

Yes Sir
