STAGE 1 TRACKING


STAGE 1: BUENOS AIRES > VILLA CARLOS PAZ

Connection 663km | Special Stage 170km | Total 833km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The competitors will be rapidly plunged into the heart of the Argentinean countryside. The combination of the route’s different features means that there will be something for everyone, while sticking to relatively simple criteria, for the time being. Fast tracks coupled with sharp bends will divide up the vehicles, according to the levels of the drivers, who will be tested in an exciting environment which marks this first special stage, but without singling out any particular category. At the end of this warm-up, the day will fi nish with a long liaison section to the first bivouac.

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

If so, that's a disappointment. I hate to see good drivers fall out early. And a basic sort of engine failure with the Minis this soon ? I'll bet there are some awfully long faces back at the Mini camp.

He is not out. He is 135th, 6'26" behind (in-tow). Tomorrow will be a different day, but he is not out; just a support car now.
