STAGE 2 TRACKING

STAGE 2: Cordoba > San Miguel de Tucuman

Connection 440km | Special Stage 324km | Total 764km

COURSE OVERVIEW

For this stage entirely covering new ground, the competitors’ compass bearings will be set to the north, leading the rally into a backdrop of forest which will remind some observers of bush landscapes. During part of the day, the bikes and quads will again be separated from the cars and trucks. The acrobats on two wheels will have a field day on an old track where jumps are plentiful and sometimes spectacular. In the cockpits of the cars, the drivers can also expect a bumpy ride: endless hops and bounds as well as blind corners will be on the menu.

I have also been rooting for Tim Coronel (sp), hes in a 1 man buggy (Driving and Navigating) that is powered by a snowmobile engine. Hes been in the top 40, pretty impressive. (There are like 12 of these buggies) http://www.mcraebuggy.com/

I wonder what happened to Sainz, hes not leading WP 5.
