STAGE 2 TRACKING


STAGE 2: VILLA CARLOS PAZ > SAN JUAN

Connection 107km | Special Stage 518km | Total 625km

COURSE OVERVIEW

Any rest will be short-lived, because before reaching San Juan, the competitors will have a particularly busy schedule: quite simply the longest special stage in the rally, which is varied enough to unsettle even the most experienced of drivers. Hard terrain at the start of the race will be followed by dusty sections in the middle of the day and a sandy stretch to finish. This is the first real test, which can only be successfully overcome through constant vigilance.

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

anyone idea on what happened with Al atiyah? he's showing fastest, but no CP tracking? Please tell me the guy isn't actually still going and is actually P1!

Odd that Nasser doesn't appear in some of the check points... Hopefully he missed them and will receive a penalty...

Looks like Peterhandsolo also having problems today,. way back with RG.

This ain't over till is over,. Terranova 25 min behind Nasser,. many of those guys lost a lot of time running "trouble free race" we just need some bad luck on the top guys,. ok,. and hope the Gordini to be at 100% for the rest of today and the rest of the rally. don't loose the faith!

Agree Chupa, Peterhansel not dominant and hopefully Nasser does something stupid. Long way to go, one hour can be made up when the others have bad luck/flats/poor navigation...
