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.

Can he protest to get time back from the other car hitting him? Or at this point does it even matter?
BTW, is there anything he can do to lose his Expert Driver status? He hasn't been in the top 10 in a number of years now so I don't know if he loses that or not. Or if that title is just randomly assigned based on the ASO's wishes.

Expert pilots are based on notoriety not on finishes. Lots of Elites fail to finish the Dakar. If Jimmy Johnson drove the Dakar he would most likely be Elite, If Tony Kanaan he would be an elite.....

Hit by another car while parked. Is he entitled to loss minutes returned under ASO rules for that?
