Jan 15th, 2016 Dakar Rally Stage 12 Race Info & Discussion

Join in and discuss all the action from Stage 12 of the 2016 Dakar Rally. Robby Gordon start time: 10:26am/et, Sheldon Creed will not start, due to disqualification in stage 8.


STAGE 12 TRACKING


STAGE 12: SAN JUAN > VILLA CARLOS PAZ

Connection 450km | Special Stage 481km | Total 931km

COURSE OVERVIEW

There is more than 900km to cover on the day before the finish, including more than half in the special section, with the exception of the trucks, whose dimensions are not suitable for some of the tracks on the agenda. In this semi-mountainous terrain, the vegetation which lines their edges might be a bit tight for them! This means that the other vehicles will also have to show dexterity. Fans of pure driving will be at ease, but they’ll have to watch out for blunders: at this stage in the game, a mistake could cost them dearly.


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

4. Vasilyev +50s
5. Roma +53s

14. ROBBY GORDON +4m45s

RG needs to finish now, kill pace is off the table.

I think he still desires a Stage Win. I would gather that would be a goal for tomorrow.

How can you talk about pace when the drivers really don't have any idea how they are doing, especially with the start splits, the small gaps they are recording, and the overall distance separating all the vehicles?

I wonder what the "official" duties are for Sheldon Creed

Me too. I was wondering if he has become a roving ambassador for the team. It seems like a great time to have an appreciation picnic in Bolivia with energy drinks for all.

Prep his car for Parker

Stealing PUG parts....;)
