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.

I am off for post op checkup l8r gang

Take care Carl

Have not posted in a few years! What the hell is going on! Every year!
From what im hearing robby needs a turbo diesel?!?!

IFS AND 10 million dollars

nope he needs more gordini SS time

Keep the Vette motor but put it it behind the Cab, midships and drop the nose, check te 2 Century buggies running with the same Vette motors, the car will handle much better!

but which LS is the real question, the engine already is near mid-mount, packaging issues

It's just the usual sacrifices to the Gods of Speed.
It could be worse; we haven't had a volcano or major earthquake, bur the week is still young.

Last post 2010. Been on site every week since then. His best chance was when he went with Red Bull for the first time. Factory team!

Until they told him to give his steering rack to their favorite.

Look, is a sst, a gordini??!! no, is a peugeot testing and trying to do that wheel thing...
