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.

He's filling in on the trackers. The NL site is powerful in terms of data and analysis, don't know how automated the compiling is though. Dude does a great job.
