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.

Just cruising .... :)

I've heard that somewhere before, if only I could remember where.... :-)

I think Walt said it when asked about the tear off.

Woo hoo - Nasser beat the pugs! After last year, never thought I'd be rooting for a mini, but at this point anyone beating the pugs is a good thing.

Did robby get his mulligan back? since they gave him his time back, he wouldn't have had to use it.

loeb pug suffer rear end damage looks to be finished

Wow, big news if true
