STAGE 8 TRACKING
STAGE 8: SALTA > CALAMA
Connection 510km | Special Stage 302km | Total 812km
COURSE OVERVIEW
Today the competitors will cross the Andes Cordillera, to begin the Chilean part of the rally. A special transition stage has been marked out there for the last day that cars will progress without overtaking motorcycles and quad bikes. The timed section of the day will be accessible to skilled drivers who are at ease on fast tracks in a closed environment. Drivers are advised to pay attention to their position from the outset to limit the number of overtaking manoeuvres, even though the strict standards regarding the use of the Sentinel system will be carefully monitored at the end of the day.
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

Looks like a nice day in Calama, Chile with high temps around 60 degrees F and only a 10% chance of rain. Should be a great day for the stage.
I missed out on yesterday's action but saw enough bellyaching and outcries for testing that it looks like it was a good day to miss. Hopefully the crew was able to make the necessary reparis and the Gordini is ready to race. Gas On!
