2017 STAGE 8

UYUNI- SALTA

January 10th 2017

The Dakar will leave the Altplano for an off-road special stage in its first half, where the crossing of fords will follow the dune sectors. The race has often set up camp in Salta, but never has a special stage been contested in the region where the battle for the general classification will be played out in new canyons to be admired with a marriage of spectacular colours.

other points of interest, this is day2 of the marathon stage (no service outside of drivers/co-dawg's tonight ) this is now the longest stage of the rally.
the DAKAR.com withdrawal list is meaningless. at the completion of stage 5 there where no more Yamaha UTV's in the race.

Race between Loeb and Peterhansel for the lead. De Villiers is the only Gas engine in the hunt, with the Toyota Hilux. Production Toyota Hiluxes are 95% Diesel, with a 2.8 Diesel standard
