Jan 8th 2010 Dakar Rally Stage 7 Race Info & Discussion
Join in and discuss all the action from Stage 7 of the 2010 Dakar Rally. Raceday chat will also be available throughout the entire 2010 Dakar Rally.
STAGE 7: Iquigue > Antofagasta
Connection 37 km | Special Stage 600 km | Connection 4 km | Total 641 km
Course Overview
The longest special of the rally is also the most varied. When leaving Iquique, one always has regrets but the splendour of the landscapes will motivate the competitors just as much as the fun they will witness in the sand dunes they will have to swallow in the first part of the day. The ideal technique will be a lot harder to find when having to cross a salar, of around 3 kilometres. On this extent filled with huge blocks of dry salt, certainly never seen by most of the competitors, the speed will drop down to under 10 km/h! Once that's digested, the tracks heading to Antofagasta are, in majority, fast and open. The menu will be generous in terms of sand and kilometres. The rule book will allow the bikers and crews to reach the bivouac before 6:00 PM on the following day, during the rest day.

RG started 27 min back of Peter
CP4 had him 6 min ahead, so he should hit cp5 in about 15min
less if he's gaining... -

You may be right on getting peterhead in a hummer.
Not due to being fearless but instead maybe he can show Robby the secret of knowing ahead of time where the hidden wp's are at as well as the tricky tips he took from the VW team to the BMW team.
How many times over the last 3 years have any of the VW's gotten lost? -
