STAGE 2 TRACKING


STAGE 2: SAN LUIS > SAN RAFAEL

Connection 365km | Special Stage 433km | Total 798km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The fastest special stage of the rally, at least for its first part, will also be the one where drivers will have to face the first dunes. And it won’t just be a brief encounter with sand: in the last 100 kilometres, the exploration of the grey dunes of Nihuil will be even more intensive than during previous visits. The sand is more firm there, but the experience will provide a great deal of insight about each of the competitors’ technical skills. In short it will be a veritable test.

 

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

One way to look at is that is Robby came through the CP slower than Peter they would jump all over it saying Peter leads the American Robby Gordon by X time.

If Robby is ahead they won't post until the lawyers have thoroughly checked to see if they can screw him out of it.

It's interesting to watch the new folks arrive. Welcome!

I mean, it makes sense and all - we are in the middle of the race.

I have to believe that people come here partly as fan, but also simply hunting for info.
