Jan 4th 2010 Dakar Rally Stage 3 Race Info & Discussion

Join in and discuss all the action from Stage 3 of the 2010 Dakar Rally. Raceday chat will also be available throughout the entire 2010 Dakar Rally.

STAGE 3: La Rioja > Fiambala

Connection 259km | Special Stage 182km | Connection 0km | Total 441km

Course Overview

It'll be on the third real day of racing that the competitors will have to deal with a first test. The change of context will be radical: with a switch from earth to sand and especially a dune portion of close to 30 kilometres. Other than their dimension that suits perfectly a first part of rally, these dunes are noticeable thanks to their white colour. In this new landscape, the crews will enjoy off-piste. They will also have to adapt to a change of climate and especially sand storms that are frequent in the area.

Those who are writing, are you supposed to be working or just at home?
This is the kinda day I'm thinking, where 2 race support trucks would be in order.
I'm "working"
I don't think it will end up 1'10" it should be about 55 behind that 430 race truck poped up out of no where ahead of everyone even the leader......
Robby has alot of work to do now....
This must be a brutal stage. 90 cars have still not made it the first 38km to checkpoint 1!
