Jan 7th 2010 Dakar Rally Stage 6 Race Info & Discussion
Join in and discuss all the action from Stage 6 of the 2010 Dakar Rally. Raceday chat will also be available throughout the entire 2010 Dakar Rally.
STAGE 6: Antofagasta > Iquique
Connection 180 km | Special Stage 418 km | Connection 0 km | Total 598 km
Course Overview
The efforts are equally spread out on the day's special. On the off-piste portion of the first third, the dust will push the competitors to be cautious. The larger and faster tracks that will be at the heart of the program will force those who are fighting for positions to maintain a fast pace. They will however need to keep a good amount of energy: indeed an African type erg awaits at the heart of a sandy portion of around fifty kilometres. But for the final part, the reward will be at the height of the difficulties. After having climbed a last dune, the competitors will take on a slide type sand downhill of close to three kilometres with Iquique and the waves of the ocean on the horizon. An unforgettable scene.

This will be a key day. Somebody in the top five will have a big problem i suspect. The only real issue for RG now is that the VW"s are "team" driving now to ensure somebody gets to the top of the podium. Robby's got a great chance to be there too. GAS ON

Should be a good stage for Robby. Just keep it under 1hr back overall, and trim away at the fat.

"SPOT" should have sponsered RGM for this race that way they could have a real time tracking system so that we could see exactly where Robby is at all times.

Keeping fingers crossed for there to be another malfunction with the ttracker or it is already looking bad.
