STAGE 11: Santiago > San Juan

Connection 211 km | Special Stage 220 km | Connection 3 km | Total 434 km

Course Overview

It’s through the Paso Libertadores, at an altitude of 3500 metres that the competitors will leave Chile to return to Argentina where the day's special will take place. For the first fifty kilometres which will actually be the only portion of the rally competed at high altitude, the mechanics will need to work on settings to compensate with the lack of power. The competitors will race on the high hill tops of the Andes with views on the famous Aconcagua that dominates the area from the top of its 6859 metres. To reach San Juan, one will then need to find a way through the rios. In the same time the cars and trucks will have to take good care of their brakes for a long descent of close to 20 kilometres.

Robby is just running the wheels off that Hummer. Good job today.. and yesterday too. Who would have thought that RG would have had such good runs on the WRC style stages.
