STAGE 2 TRACKING

STAGE 2: SAN LUIS > SAN RAFAEL

Connection 365km | Special Stage 433km | Total 798km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The fastest special stage of the rally, at least for its first part, will also be the one where drivers will have to face the first dunes. And it won’t just be a brief encounter with sand: in the last 100 kilometres, the exploration of the grey dunes of Nihuil will be even more intensive than during previous visits. The sand is more firm there, but the experience will provide a great deal of insight about each of the competitors’ technical skills. In short it will be a veritable test.

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

Brazilian driver Guilherme Spinelli has recorded the third best time so far after 259 km of the car special stage, 5'14" behind Stéphane Peterhansel. The Mini driven by Holowczyc lies currently in fifth, 7'28" behind the current leader. Robby Gordon has also achieved a noteworthy fifteenth best time, in light of his problems yesterday.

If 5th is 7 1/2 minutes back how far is 15th?
