STAGE 1 TRACKING


STAGE 1: BUENOS AIRES > VILLA CARLOS PAZ

Connection 663km | Special Stage 170km | Total 833km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The competitors will be rapidly plunged into the heart of the Argentinean countryside. The combination of the route’s different features means that there will be something for everyone, while sticking to relatively simple criteria, for the time being. Fast tracks coupled with sharp bends will divide up the vehicles, according to the levels of the drivers, who will be tested in an exciting environment which marks this first special stage, but without singling out any particular category. At the end of this warm-up, the day will fi nish with a long liaison section to the first bivouac.

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

We didn't take any risks"

The stage was a bit too fast, but we got off to a good start. We needed to know where everyone stands. We might be able to be more aggressive tomorrow. There were a few tricky spots where we didn't take any risks. The car worked perfectly and, if we win, it'll also be great to open the track tomorrow. We saw Nani stopped on the side of the road, but they were still inside their car. It might have been an electric problem. A stroke of bad luck, that's the way it is. I hope he can patch up the car and continue the rally. It's a big surprise, but it can happen."

I don't think Cyril Despres in the third Peugeot had fun today.
