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.

Can u blame him if he slowed he would get stuck

Well, now we know where the time penalty came from. Add to that, Robby stated on air the he says there is no way the pug motors are production based.

And there is the Robby we know and love.

FROM RDC -

How many times do you think RG bumped him?

non

non? Guessing I did something wrong on here again.

chrome horn is illegal

When did RG start caring about rules?

Unfortunately ASO do and they make a new rule every 40mins

Penalty, penalty and penalty.

From rules :
All Vehicle refusing to be overtaken - 15minutes for the 1st 20 cars, 1st 10 trucks and A.S.O. Elite Drivers.

So that would be Terranova in the Mini

170km wtf, they should be able to see that in the timing no??
