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.

The communication and tracking this year is for the birds.......we cannot follow anything on the internet....well nowhere to be exact, unless some here knows something I don't.
I am talking about the Dakar site.
I tried to get into some satellite sites....that didn't work either.
Last year you could follow your drivers go through each Check point.

I don't usually knock people but I like the fact that Dakar has slapped bj and his monster money back down to earth.

And to boot Robby is not getting a real chance to pound them and show what they are made of.

Thanks for the confirmation Kevin. That's what I was thinking. "Personal services"
