STAGE 5 TRACKING


STAGE 5: COPIAPO > ANTOFAGASTA

Connection 239km | Special Stage 458km | Total 697km

COURSE OVERVIEW

This is the first of the rare special stages in which all categories will compete. At the start of the race, the most confident drivers will be able to take advantage of the fast tracks to try to move up in the overall standings. But the temptation to do so may be risky, particularly in the hard-to-handle fesh-fesh areas where absolute self-control is the only guarantee of success. Overtaking here requires precision handling to the extreme.

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

Carlos Sainz has overturned near the finish of the stage today, just 10 kilometers, after colliding with a rock because of the lack of visibility excess powder. Sainz and Cruz have not been able to continue and, apparently, now head for a routine medical checkup.

15:59 Cars: Despres still stuck
Cyril Despres has been stopped for 1 and a half hours on the special attempting to fix a mechanical problem, another mishap for the Frenchman’s debut on four wheels

If Despres doesn't make it to the finish that leaves only one PUG left in the race.
