Jan 13th Dakar Rally Stage 10 Race Chat

Join us for the Dakar Rally on Jan 13, 2009,right here and chat about the action during the 10th stage

Stage 10 - Tuesday, January 13

Copiapo > Copiapo

Connection: 20 km | Special: 666 km | Connection: 0 km | Total: 686 km
The day’s special is simply the longest and most difficult of the rally. As on the previous day, the competitors will face a series of dunes at the end of the day that stretch over a hundred kilometers. And in this area, even the leading specialists will be faced with something new. The Chilean dunes are veritable mountains of sand, and pilots must learn to climb and descend their sides over more than one kilometer. Another unknown: due to the extreme heat of the region, no one knows exactly how the sand will behave. In any case, remaining clear-headed will be imperative all the way to the end.

Vigouroux having a great run. Should move into the top 20 today *fingers crossed*

If he keeps the Hummer together, in one piece, he ought to have a decent finish for how the rally started! He's rebounded very well.

This might be old news, looks like a Chilean threw himself in front of Argentinian for some good agri barrgi

315 - Terranova rolls over!...
Leader of today’s special stage at both CP1 and CP2, Argentinian driver Orlando Terranova (BMW) has rolled over at km 180 of the stage and has been forced to withdraw from the race. The crew is not hurt and has been transported to CP3...

Robbys at least 6 min. back now. I hope tracking is fucked up.
