STAGE 3 TRACKING
STAGE 3: SAN RAFAEL > SAN JUAN
Connection 295km | Special Stage 301km | Total 596km
COURSE OVERVIEW
The competitors of the 2014 Dakar will experience their first taste of the mountains by passing through the Pre-Andes. The Aconcagua Volcano stands 6,962m high and will observe the progress of the vehicles, of which a part will rehearse their high mountain driving techniques. The motorcyclists will climb up 4,300 metres during their special stage, on a ridgeline where they will have the impression of towering over the whole of America! The descent will bring them back to the tough reality of the drivers of the Dakar, as they will only have finished the first part of this marathon stage. They will have to ensure the mechanics for their own vehicles at the isolated bivouac which has been set up for them.
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

MK..........I thought I heard RG say they were going to go to the old hummer engine fuel system today. If the current fi system is a dead head sys. Then how can RG go back to the old hummer system...I am assuming that because the hummer's motor was a modified LS7 motec was involved in the fuel management......so can they go back to last years system and be legal ? Would RG have to pation the ASO for approval ? I don't see it......
A motor guy I know says that the stock dead head system is junk and the only reason GM uses it is because it's cheep.....and everyone in the engine building community know's it's junk....I am guessing that RG went with this package because of the air restrictions.

yes,Robby did say that at the end of the footage.I can only guess he got a clarification on the rules.
The Motec engine tuner is there live with the team.In the photo's from the middle of last week,he's the guy with red strips on his sleeves.
