STAGE 5 TRACKING
STAGE 5: CHILECITO > TUCUMAN
Connection 384km | Special Stage 527km | Total 911km
COURSE OVERVIEW
After two race days with completely separate routes, everyone will gather together to tackle the longest stage of the rally. They will need to be extremely resistant to overcome these two sections of the special stage which will primarily feature sand. All day long the competitors will make headway on off-piste sections: those who have poorly assessed the limits of their engine will constantly be on the verge of overheating and all the more so, as the region’s temperatures are generally very high. At the bivouac in Tucuman, the candidates for the podium will have been whittled down to a select few, as many of them will no longer be a part of this elite group. For many others, their timing and mechanical mishaps will only become apparent in the middle of the night.
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

The rally, being run for the sixth straight year in South America, could draw protests in Bolivia. Aymara Indians fear the stages across the world's largest salt flat will damage the environment, with crowds leaving rubbish and racers leaving behind deep creases.

On the tracker site it says "race stops at CP1" in the Info Flashes window... dunno if it's true but that's what it says. Strange place to put breaking news, if that's the case.
Maybe it's just a basic info to inform about the transport in between the SS's.
