STAGE 4 TRACKING


STAGE 4: CHILECITO > COPIAPO

Connection 594km | Special Stage 315km | Total 909km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The competitors will have to prove they are worthy of entering Chile! A very early start and a climb to a height of 4,800 metres will precede the border crossing at Paso San Francisco. The really challenging section will begin with a gradual warm-up on the mining tracks, before drivers are faced with the reality of the Atacama Desert. The route here is open and sandy. Over the course of the last 40 kilometres, the giant dunes and basins of Copiapo will have to be tackled and for many this will be at night. Overcoming them will require finesse and instinct.

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

Es muy sencillo el razonamiento porque los minis y toyota están a la cabeza, primero son un equipo de una docena de minis, los toyota media docena, ahora pasarlos con el bloqueo como equipo coordinan es muy dificil, segundo, que el gordini debe de cambia a 4wd, es como echar a andar un auto sedan con llantas de camioneta, asi tenga el mero motor nunca desarrollara su velocidad real, lo que debe RG es tener un coche fiable, ahora todo el mundo compara con BAJA, en esa competición no existen temperaturas extremas, ni rutas extremas, y las dificultadas variadas, de los 3 paises que recorren, aqui tienes que sobrevivir 15 días a toda maquina pero lo que RG hace es un carrera de los mejores no existe mejro piloto que RG. .

Am i the only one thinking that RG should begin to focus more on making a reliable car, instead of a fast car.
We know he is fast enough, but he always have many problems.

Big problems with reliability, it is very early in the Rally Raid and at this rate will have a worse result than 2014, which was the pits

He needs a shop exclusive for Dakar,. he uses the same guys for Dakar, Baja, SSt, and he needs a fast and reliable car,. .

That's one opinion,next you'll ask why no BAJA
