Connection 429km | Special Stage 288km | Total 707km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

It was a painful experience for many competitors when they discovered the area last year. At the beginning of the special stage, the dunes follow one another, each one like the next, strung out in a never-ending desert capable of unsettling the best technical specialists. In the opposite direction, Stéphane Peterhansel and “Nani” Roma, both of whom are masters when it comes to crossing dunes, each lost almost fifteen minutes there, and risked missing out on the first two places of the overall standings. And the level of difficulty will be even more demanding this year! During the crucial stage of the first week, the rally will be even tougher for motorcyclists: they will quail on a 2-km slope, of which the gradient will put the descent of Iquique on a par with a gentle children’s slide.

@Bruce, that was pre-race type and smack talk.Does this sound like "behaving like a spoilt child "?

If I'm not mistaken wasn't it Peterhansel who threw the 1st punch by calling Robby a cheater and Nasser throwing it down on the team and equipment because he has to blame someone since he doesn't know how to take care of his car? American racers have there own style just as European racers have there's, and if you don't like it maybe you should join someone else's fan site because the people on here back Robby 110% and like him just as he is!

The Jefferies Buggies are fast in the dunes..But they do look like they could blow over backwards when they get airtime..Nasser likes to keep his down on the gas.so I'm just waiting.Sainz seems to think there isn't enough road control in it..He isn't use to the long travel that Nasser enjoy in the Hummers last year
