STAGE 2 TRACKING

 

STAGE 2: De La Pampa > San Rafael

 

Connection 487km | Special Stage 290km | Total 777km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

 

The competitors will have an early start and a long way to go to join the start of the special stage. But the pace that the drivers will have to keep up on the first very fast part of the route will immediately ensure that they remain extremely focused. After the big, fast bends negotiated on firm ground, the entrance in a backdrop of dunes will significantly slow down their progress. In Nihuil, the grey-coloured sand bears witness to the intense volcanic activity which occurred in the region several thousand years ago.

Man the tracker Is for sure not up to par with the way it worked last year.
You could go back and forth between WPS's and stages which I can't seem to get to work this year.
