STAGE 3 TRACKING


STAGE 3: San Rafael > San Juan

Connection 291km | Special Stage 208 | Total 499km


COURSE OVERVIEW

The Andes Cordillera, ever-present throughout the 2012 Dakar, is very demanding for the drivers. The crossing of rivers and the many holes and stones that the drivers will have to avoid during the day's special stage, will make the terrain particularly gruelling. The sturdiness of the engines will be put to the test if the drivers do not remain attentive. But the altitude and the reliefs provide both magnificent landscapes, with every shade of red possible, and small acrobatic challenges, such as a steep climb that the motorcyclists will definitely have to finish in first gear.

Can't get on the Chat at work but I can still go follow on the tracker. Are the Hummer's expected to shine in the later parts of the stage?

Hopefully once they burn off some fuel they will pick up some speed, I can remember in past years this happening...
