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.

Nasser Al-Attiyah was leading cars before being slapped with a penalty.

We've had a change in the running after Day 1 of Dakar action and it involved the leading Mini in cars. Nasser Al-Alltiyah was handed a two minute penalty and thus, dropped down to seventh place with co-driver Mathieu Baumel.

Fellow Mini drivers Orlando Terranova/Bernardo Graue have taken over the top spot as a result, also moving USA's Robby Gordon and Johnny Campbell up to second.

Remember penalties have a strange way of going away for everyone other than RG.

68km/h in a section where 50km/h is allowed will do that do you. (You forgot that last line).

Nasser will push it till it breaks...not that he wouldn't have anyway.
