STAGE 11 TRACKING


STAGE 11: ANTOFAGASTA > EL SALVADOR

Connection 144km | Special Stage 605km | Total 749km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

In addition to the distance, here the competitors will be put to the test by all the difficulties offered by the Atacama Desert… and will have to display all the qualities required for off-road races. After the mine tracks and the many rivers to cross, the competitors will have to distinguish themselves in the heart of the Dunes of Copiapo: the fastest motorcyclists are expected to spend seven hours behind the wheel. Needless to say that on this decisive day there will be no shortage of opportunities for competitors to make a winning comeback in the race. This will be the key stage of the 2014 edition.


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

great news, never doubt team speed huha

Awesome! Go Robby! - and we live another day!

Is there a time limit as when you have to stop racin to the finish line?

GREAT

WooHoo! Go Robby!

No, That's Great news

Ifit run tow him to the end and drive across the line tonight throw some pistons and rods a set of heads and hope it makes it home

That dudes got nine lives!! Hopefully, all will work out. TOG do we know if it is a self inflicted problem or a problem that was partly caused by ASO? Excuse my ignorance, but I don't know if he gets his gas from ASO or if it is self supplied.

both ASO and commercially available

Would you guys say that this year's course favors 4wd?

Seems like when the going gets steep or rugged in sand, rocks or other, 4wd has the ability to crawl. Where 2wd needs faster sections use it's advantages.

I know this has been talked to death over the years, but this year in particular the course seems good for 4wd.

yes, this year course is WRC'ish.Yes ,we knew that at in September,maybe earlier

Thanks for the great news TOG and thanks for all you do keeping this thing running.
