STAGE 12 TRACKING

STAGE 12: TERMAS DE RIO HONDO > ROSARIO

Connection 726km | Special Stage 298km | Total 1024km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The Dakar will spend the night near the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit, which regularly hosts the Argentine rounds of the GP and WTCC motorbike championships. But the Dakar’s competitors are set for a long cross-country journey, battling it out in this tension-packed penultimate day. A combative driver could still shake up the leaders’ positions even at this stage. And drivers who become too distracted could be caught by surprise by the surrounding vegetation!

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

As always Mike, your service as TimeKeeper is most valuable. Working out that GMT/UTC conversion is sometimes confusing even to those of us who have had to face that time warp, yet still get it backwards!! Fortunately the Seahawks play at home so I don't have to do the math this week.
