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.

Jeff, no need to start name calling other members. Are you 12?

I was tempted to say something. Good grief. Thank you. My sentiments exactly.

If you're not 12, please act like an adult. I'm alittle tired of your personal rants. They're not appreciated.

If you happen to recall when Nasser joined the team to drive a Hummer in 2012 we were all elated because *drum roll please* he's a hell of a driver. What turned us off was his attitude and his smack talk about the Hummer after the rally and then the very next year arrive with a buggy of his own. Sainz, Peter, Nasser, DeVillers are all champs of this rally and obviously the ones to beat and they have a target on their backs. Tease about them? Sure we do. We want our guy to top them all. This site is for entertainment and many people are entertained in different ways. Do you want cookie cutter fans? I sure don't. Everyone is frustrated at this time and I'm not saying that you should slip the rose coloured glasses on and start sipping the kool aid but realize that staying positive is much more productive (and people friendly) than the latter.

I would say not only Nasser bagging on the team but being a poor team player and not even staying to be the water carrier to the end like he would have wanted if it was the other way around!
