STAGE 3 TRACKING


STAGE 3: SAN JUAN > CHILECITO

Connection 258km | Special Stage 284km | Total 542km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The pressure which competitors faced the day before (and late into the night for some of them), will partly ease off on the road to Chilecito. The shorter and less intense stage will allow them to enjoy their majestic surroundings. The red earth tracks, overlooking steep peaks and plunging down into canyons, will take the Dakar through one of the most beautiful regions of Argentina. But no-one should be tempted to sit back and enjoy the view, particularly on the motorcycle and quad bike routes which include some gruelling sections. With thousands of stones to be avoided, it will only take one to ruin this magnificent day!

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

In the "road to dakar 2015" videos, a second gordini is mentioned.
Was it planned to take part in Dakar?

btw is the use of the name Gordini approved by Renault?

That's it then. Time seems to be past now for those who had hoped to start todays stage, which means 53 cars, or 40% of the car field, were eliminated from the Rally yesterday.

Have to be happy with that result after starting 50th on a tight course. Tomorrow they hit the Atacama Desert with giant dunes and basins. Get some sleep West Coast team.
