STAGE 1 TRACKING


STAGE 1: LIMA > PISCO

Connection 250km | Special Stage 13km | Total 263km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

It won’t be long before competitors will be singled out, but for the moment, the mini special stage organised on the outskirts of Pisco will principally be used to divide up the drivers into categories according to their level, who in turn will reassemble during the rally. The initial stage won’t be as stiff as the drink that made the region famous, but the picture postcard landscape is especially appealing. The concentration required over the several timed kilometres will still allow the competitors to admire the scenery. Nevertheless, the light-hearted attitude and relaxed driving style adopted by the competitors during this first day must not mislead them: the Dakar has really begun.

 The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

Some of the other different things;
Bikes run SS1 in reverse order.
On all stages the first 10 in bikes and cars will start at 10 min. intervals.

10 minute intervals? Seems like in past years it was 3 minutes for top 10.
