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.

The entry list still can't wrap around the idea that this is not the Hummer, perhaps due to the French Renault Gordini of years ago. Perhaps RG should re-name it a Gordoni!

Good thing they say they took it easy cause that could have gotten real ugly if they were pushing it.

Video would suggest the Peugeot is just not a stable at high speed, especially when turning into a tight corner as the Gordini, Go Robby !

And pitching it sideways to get it to turn might cause other, unintended tippy toppy issues.
