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.

I agree, No wonder he is following in Mickey Thomson dream. Enjoy what you love. Time is not forever. We are limited to what we have time to do. At least he is living the dream.

I was hoping for French fries this year, but looks like Gordonzo beans is what's for lunch today.

WIthout those two incidents last year, which RG himself caused, the Hummer would have won. It was definitely a winning vehicle; RG just let it down.

The first year Red & White Jim Beam Hummer had plenty of issues.
The double radiator system was a result of that rig.
Every hummer evolved from previous years version.
I'm partial to the JB rig, but The Gordini is a far better looking rig than any of the Hummers.
