STAGE 10 TRACKING


STAGE 10: IQUIQUE > ANTOFAGASTA

Connection 58km | Special Stage 631km | Total 689km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The special stage, split into two sections with very different features, will begin with the descent towards the shores of the Pacific. The advance gained in the stage the day before may will be increased in the sand during the first two hundred kilometres. Even more skill will be required to tackle the sections of fesh-fesh in the second part of the stage. Once this difficult area is behind the drivers, they will all be delighted to twist and wind along the region’s mine tracks, and in particular to be welcomed by the majestic arch of La Portuda, a stone’s throw from the bivouac in Antofagasta.

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

cumulative, factored in

So the variation at each waypoint is how much time every driver is behind the stage leader based on time on course? It does not include the start interval?

No, that would be crazy to try to follow. it's all factored in.

Good. Robby started the day 35 minutes behind the first car, his variation at waypoint one was 6:48 behind the leader, if it included the start interval of 35 minutes, his interval at waypoint one would have been 41:48 (35 minutes + 6:48), I guess if I would have just used that reasoning Ifrom the beginning I should have figured it out.

What ever it says they are behind the leader, is what it is.

Every Racer runs on their own clock from the time they start. WP's will tell you where you are in the mix on time. For example you could be 10th on the road but leading on time.... Clear as mud
