STAGE 5 TRACKING


STAGE 5: COPIAPO > ANTOFAGASTA

Connection 239km | Special Stage 458km | Total 697km

COURSE OVERVIEW

This is the first of the rare special stages in which all categories will compete. At the start of the race, the most confident drivers will be able to take advantage of the fast tracks to try to move up in the overall standings. But the temptation to do so may be risky, particularly in the hard-to-handle fesh-fesh areas where absolute self-control is the only guarantee of success. Overtaking here requires precision handling to the extreme.



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

And this is precisely why RG had the sub-contractor re-do the wiring harness several times before final build!

So at wp2 Robby has passed three cars ; Sainz, Terranova, and Garafulic. Sweeeeeeeeeet!

Just got here, and gee whiz : First place is more like it !!! Now, if only chat will come up for me. Is there some kind of magic wand a person can wave ??

How did 310 get 9 min ahead of everyone at WP3? He was 2 min back at WP2...
That is weird.....shortcut?
Something cause that seems impossible

Robby!!!! Robby!!! Robby!!! I love when they chant his name when he goes by over 100mph!!!

Vladimir 8 mins up at CP3 ????
Has to be a timing glitch....impossible. I will ignore it for the time being. Lol

Gas on Robby! Looks like another great finish.
