STAGE 7 TRACKING


STAGE 7: SALTA > SALTA

Connection 230km | Special Stage 533km | Total 763km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

This mega loop with a 500-km long special stage on the agenda will test the teams’ ability to adapt to changes of pace. After stony terrains at the beginning of the day, some top speeds will be recorded in the second part of the stage, and then the drivers’ road techniques will be tested, and all of this at an average altitude of almost 3,500m. To end this highly emotional day, they will have to cross a vast salt flat extending over twenty or so kilometres: a straight stretch which will make the competitors’ heads spin.


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

-6:45 12th

12) RG : +6:45

Passed two more cars on course.. that makes 5 so far.

The Bolivians really pulled out all the stops for TV coverage.

Yes they did. They've done a great job.

at 10000ft msl I have to lean the scooter way out to get it to run hope there is some remote manual mixture control. Boiling point decreases with altitude as well.

on the HST? It has an ECU

Hopefully this terrain will open things up for him and he can get past some of the back markers.

the kid is pretty darn fast when given an opportunity.
