STAGE 8 TRACKING


STAGE 8: SALTA > BELEN

Connection 373km | Special Stage 393km | Total 766km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The change of terrain which marks the entry into the second part of the rally should also mark a change in programme for the drivers, who will face the first dune sections of the 2016 edition. Experts in dunes crossing will have an opportunity to demonstrate their skills and even gain an advantage. They will also notice the navigational difficulties which have been introduced this year to complicate their existence. Louds of minutes could be lost by vehicles blocked in the sand.


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

That is for sure. Peugeot has certainly changed the game although Mini and Toyota had already tilted the table.

VW tilted the table Yota tipped it a little more then Mini Flipped it and now Pug has thrown the table away and started a new platform

He'll be back, its one thing to get beat by the ASO, its another to get beat by yourself...

ASO's gave RG his 1 hour penalty back they said in the new stage 6 video update

Really? Well at least something went ok!

Gee once it no longer matters lets give it back so he does not raise too much shit..

No harm no foul right??

Fuck ASO

Why did they give him an excessive penalty in the first place?

Oh boy, I just got home from work too! Well, there goes the good mood I was in...

Is young Sheldon at least doing well?

always man but he is the water carrier so......

Like pissing in a cash register.

It is running into money..
