Jan 15th 2010 Dakar Rally Stage 13 Race Info & Discussion

Join in and discuss all the action from Stage 13 of the 2010 Dakar Rally. Raceday chat will also be available throughout the entire 2010 Dakar Rally.

STAGE 13: San Rafael > Santa Rosa

Connection 76 km | Special Stage 368 km | Connection 281 km | Total 725 km

Course Overview

With two days to go before the finish, the standings can still be modified. No-one can consider being clear of staying stuck in the grey sand of the Nihuil dunes, the last few of the rally. After this part of close to 40 kilometres, larger and faster paths will lead the competitors to the finish of the special. These portions will be a rare opportunity to test on the distance the top speeds of the vehicles while taking good care of the mechanical aspect.

I haven't seen it mentioned yet but the new Freightliner Stratofortress' seem to have performed very well in their maiden voyage. Kudos to Freightliner for stepping up and supporting the program.
