STAGE 7 TRACKING


STAGE 7: SALTA > SALTA

Connection 230km | Special Stage 533km | Total 763km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

This mega loop with a 500-km long special stage on the agenda will test the teams’ ability to adapt to changes of pace. After stony terrains at the beginning of the day, some top speeds will be recorded in the second part of the stage, and then the drivers’ road techniques will be tested, and all of this at an average altitude of almost 3,500m. To end this highly emotional day, they will have to cross a vast salt flat extending over twenty or so kilometres: a straight stretch which will make the competitors’ heads spin.


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

in WP3 we will see how the changes work in the car.

Just an FYI , CP1 = WP3 (Approx KM90)

Robby has passed 2 and right behind 3rd at wp1. now cars ahead are at 1 minute gaps spread out more. So that should improve his time.

yes I agree.

Chat will be active past the halfway point of today's stage

i'm not feelin good about wp2

Not at WP2 yet?

Might be waiting for BJ. He's less then 1 min behind.

scoring is slow

thru wp2 3:32 back

Stop worrying

Why would he wait ...for anything?
