STAGE 11 TRACKING

STAGE 11: SALTA > TERMAS DE RIO HONDO

Connection 326km | Special Stage 194km | Total 520km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The rally will continue on two separate routes, following the famous Ruta 40 and winding through its magnificent landscapes. Drivers won’t have time to relax on these fast routes though: the fatigue which will have accumulated by the 11th day of the race (the 4th marathon day for the motorcycles and quads!) will demand maximum concentration on both the route and the road-book. In the cockpits of the cars and trucks, the watchword will also be vigilance; these tracks are often lined with trees.

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

It is a grind! Who in the heck would sit at, or follow the 308 on a computer all morning long, hoping a tracker will update. Craziness. But, it is what it is. Race fans are race fans, and Robby fans are even better.

Yazeed Alrajhi, third in the general standings, could be in the process of seeing all his hard work on this rally go to waste. Whilst his rivals have all started the day's special, the Saudi is still at the Bivouac in Salta with a major problem on the exhaust of his Toyota.
