STAGE 7 TRACKING
STAGE 7: UYUNI > SALTA
Connection 440km | Special Stage 353km | Total 793km
COURSE OVERVIEW
The end of the first week of racing is always a decisive intermediate objective. This year, anyone who has put in the ground work during their preparation and who has respected the major recommendations of the discipline will be able to reach it. However, they still need to get to the end of this exhausting day, which will involve getting their feet wet crossing rivers. It is likely that half of the vehicles will arrive in Salta after nightfall… but perhaps before their assistance teams, who also have a long road ahead of them.
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

As much as I hate seeing this Pug domination, I must admit that the PSA concern (Citroen, Peugeot) takes their racing programmes very seriously.
I also follow WTCC (World Touring Car Championship), where they are racing Citroen C-Elysse-s. In their debut year, 2014, without any prior track racing experience, they've humiliated the whole field. Citroens took 17 victories out of 23 races, 10 of 12 fastest laps, and finished 300 (710 - 1003) championship points ahead of Honda, the next manufacturer, with all 3 Citroen team cars on the Championship podium. Sometimes the Citroens were 1 sec faster a lap than the rest of the field... All this in their debut year.
They sorta repeated the feat last year, but this time they took 1-2-3-4 in the Championship (now racing 4 cars instead of 3).
Recently the team boss of Citroen admitted in an interview that they kinda ruined the WTCC championship by setting the bar too high. Rumors say the Citroen team has a budget 2 or 3 times bigger than the next manufacturer's....
Needless to say I kinda hate Citroen right now for this. Starting to hate Peugeot too...
exactly like back in vatanen days when their budget was equal to the combinated budgets of all the others participants !
they come and nail it .
pikes peak was also quite a demonstration .
oh well .
100,000,000+++ $$$$$ first Mercedes then Mitsubishi then Volkswagen then BMW and Toyota now Peugeot.. just a tradition. i guess we got to sell more girl scout cookies
