STAGE 4 TRACKING


STAGE 4: CHILECITO > COPIAPO

Connection 594km | Special Stage 315km | Total 909km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The competitors will have to prove they are worthy of entering Chile! A very early start and a climb to a height of 4,800 metres will precede the border crossing at Paso San Francisco. The really challenging section will begin with a gradual warm-up on the mining tracks, before drivers are faced with the reality of the Atacama Desert. The route here is open and sandy. Over the course of the last 40 kilometres, the giant dunes and basins of Copiapo will have to be tackled and for many this will be at night. Overcoming them will require finesse and instinct.

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

I feel sad because RG and the team are working hard to have some good results, we just need a little good luck with the Gordini, and Robby will do the job, he's the faster Man on the sand.

He is one fast dude period.... but in the dunes he is magical as long as his equipment works right.

Couldn't get in for live updates, but enjoyed reading every page of today's adventure. My wish is not for 4WD or Hummer but for better coverage so we could actually tell what's happening. I think it's bizarre that the ASO does not allow competitors to communicate what's happening in this age of social media.

They don't have to go as far as putting live GPS on the car, but they could allow the navigator to post updates. That would make this so much for fun!

We need TOG on the terrain inside the Gordini, writing the news from the copilots seat

I don't think the navigators need more stuff to keep track of!! Park the Gordini and start prepping it now and go back next year.. Its over.

No! The Dakar won't be the same without Robby and the best laboratory for the Gordini is to continue the race ridding miles and miles, testing all the car. And for sure there are tones of good moments on the 2015 Dakar with RG, please support all the work that the team are doing whatever the results are on the grid
