STAGE 3 TRACKING


STAGE 3: SAN RAFAEL > SAN JUAN

Connection 295km | Special Stage 301km | Total 596km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The competitors of the 2014 Dakar will experience their first taste of the mountains by passing through the Pre-Andes. The Aconcagua Volcano stands 6,962m high and will observe the progress of the vehicles, of which a part will rehearse their high mountain driving techniques. The motorcyclists will climb up 4,300 metres during their special stage, on a ridgeline where they will have the impression of towering over the whole of America! The descent will bring them back to the tough reality of the drivers of the Dakar, as they will only have finished the first part of this marathon stage. They will have to ensure the mechanics for their own vehicles at the isolated bivouac which has been set up for them.

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

No CP's listed in the stage here > http://www.dakar.fr/dakar/2014/fr/etape-3/chrono-en-direct/secteur-...
The motos have 2 CP's showing.

Yeah, I was seeing the same thing on the Netherlands tracker Will. We'll only get the ASS times for the cars.

Is your Netherlands tracker still working? Mine was but now is just a bland page.

Mine seems to be still working, but won't know for sure until someone comes through a CP.

2 guys at least delayed their start because Robby left 28th instead of 30th that was on the grid.
