STAGE 3 TRACKING


STAGE 3: TERMAS DE RIO HONDO > SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY

Connection 349km | Special Stage 314km | Total 663km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The format is tighter for the day’s race against the clock... as are the mountain tracks featuring in the special section. Experts in sliding and on the road will be able to showcase their skills here, as long as they stay constantly focused. Those hunting down the leaders will be on high alert during this route, which has been designed for opportunists. But the programme could also be transformed by any rain: even the strongest competitors do not necessarily perform well on heavy ground.

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

while the Ford was built in South Africa, no it's not the same

the Ford uses the 5.0l Coyote engine
the Toyota uses the 5.0l Lexus engine
I believe both use Sadev drive trains

Its is the imitation of Aus/Asia/Euro/South American Ranger which looks similar to Aus/Asia/Euro/S.American Hilux

Regarding the Peugeots - It took Peugeot TWO attempts before they won Le Mans 24-hours.

Frenchmen can be really determined if they are fed with baguettes and some wine ;-)
