STAGE 10 TRACKING


STAGE 10: Iquique > Arica

Connection 317km | Special Stage 377km | Total 694km


COURSE OVERVIEW

The drivers will be overcome with even more intense sensations early in the morning. It is precisely at the beginning of the special stage that they will be deeply moved by a spectacular view, combining sand and waves, which continues for several kilometres. The theme will remain constant, since the most experienced experts will be able to surf on the dunes which stretch out for around a hundred kilometres. On the other hand, the difficult fesh-fesh area that will have to be tackled at the end of the special stage will bring everyone back to the tough reality of the long-distance rally.

This will be old news soon enough, but for those who are following things via this thread, the rumor (reported as truth by several media sources) is that Robby has been DQed from the rally because of illegal issues with the engine induction system.

He has appealed so until it is settled he can continue

I was told as a young boy "If you can't get the job done on the track it's good to have the Stewards on your side" I think I heard it from some old French dude.
