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.

Fastest bike thru in a little over 3 and a half hours. With the cars course being roughly 70KM further I would imagine the first cars should be finishing in about 4 hours. Using that logic cars should finish around 1 PM EST???

Really!
At this time you want to start injecting Logic into the equation?
