STAGE 2 TRACKING


STAGE 2: VILLA CARLOS PAZ > TERMAS DE RIO HONDO

Connection 337km | Special Stage 521km* | Total 858km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The statistics speak for themselves: with around 800 kilometres to cover depending on the category, the day will be very long. There is a significant distance to cover in both the special and the liaison sections: although the terrain presents no real difficulties, the relatively fast tracks may already benefit those who love hills and crossing rivers and who can keep up high speeds over the whole distance. Cars and trucks are entitled to an extension on this day.

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

Michael, another race vehicle can provide assistance. BJ, Eric V and Eliseo Salazar all carried the spare parts for RG. (think of the spare hub on Eliseo's 327 when he drove passed Robby before the stage started). Support/Assistance vehicles cannot provide support during a Special.
