Jan 15th, 2016 Dakar Rally Stage 12 Race Info & Discussion

STAGE 12 TRACKING


STAGE 12: SAN JUAN > VILLA CARLOS PAZ

Connection 450km | Special Stage 481km | Total 931km

COURSE OVERVIEW

There is more than 900km to cover on the day before the finish, including more than half in the special section, with the exception of the trucks, whose dimensions are not suitable for some of the tracks on the agenda. In this semi-mountainous terrain, the vegetation which lines their edges might be a bit tight for them! This means that the other vehicles will also have to show dexterity. Fans of pure driving will be at ease, but they’ll have to watch out for blunders: at this stage in the game, a mistake could cost them dearly.

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

Interested to see if everyone comes thru the long downhill section between WP9 and 10 unscathed.

RG is losing 2 secconds per km average on Poulter today, in rally terms this is a lot
It appears that RG is running with a hidden problem for the last few days, no ways that the Gordini can be that much slower than the Toyota, they make about the same horses and the Gordini is lighter?

I'm not so sure about equal HP, actually I don't think so , restricted

Robby runs a 1mm bigger restricter than the Toyotas if I remember right they both make close to 380hp
