STAGE 6 TRACKING


STAGE 6: TUCUMAN > SALTA

Connection 270km | Special Stage 424km | Total 694km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

Once they have left Tucuman, the cars will head north and drive along part of the renowned Ruta 40, and continue on in the heart of one of Argentina’s most beautiful landscapes. The possibilities to widen the gap will be limited but the most skilled drivers may be able to seize the opportunity of adding a stage to their list of wins. A new trip to the mountains will take motorcyclists to the banks of the rivers. They will have to remain vigilant until the very end of the stage as the region is frequented to a great extent by animals of all sizes. Then they will finally be able to rest.

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

The HST will be improved by next year. If there was a race between the first year H3 and first year HST, I'd take the HST any day.

Always move forward. Never go back.

The JB Hummer was a bloated pig in every respect, but it was a starting point.

It was designed for the more open style of racing you see in Africa. It had good reason to be big.

But one of the sold Hummer will be back next year... if they decide to go for it... that is. ;)

I wonder if the Mini team is going to call Toyo about tires for next year. If they had Toyo's they would be unstoppable.
