STAGE 12 TRACKING


STAGE 12: FIAMBALA > COPIAPO

Connection 396km | Special Stage 319km | Total 715km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

This time the competitors will cross the Andes Cordillera from east to west, by the Paso San Francisco, and return to the Atacama Desert to experience every kind of difficulty that exists in a long-distance rally. The major sections of dunes are situated right in the centre of the special stage: the participants will have to climb the “cathedral” dunes and avoid entering the basins which are just as big. It won’t be any easier on the tracks, where rocks and stones, despite being scattered around, can immediately bring the fastest of them to a halt. Those who reach Copiapó with a perfect performance will score points for the overall standings.

The American’s Hummer is the first to pass through the first time check point, leading Stéphane Peterhansel by 17', Giniel de Villiers by 20', Bernard Errandonea by 56', Lucio Alvarez by 1’26' and Ronan Chabot by 1’41'.
