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.

Maybe he stopped to check out the plant life in boliva and check his mirrors

Yes, Thomasse and Lavieille also stopped nearby, just for fun

Where did everyone go?

TOG, thinking the same thing, you can only abuse the engine so much, eventually head gasket at minimum

I'm curled up in the corner in the fetal position until we can get an answer

some of us are still here.... its just without more data we are at a loss for words I think

People here are never at a loss for words.

I just sent a message to the team via sat phone. Trying to see if they heard anything concrete. I would like to end any speculation.

Thank you. Standing by.

OMG, they hit concrete.

Good...I hope they get back to you.
