STAGE 10 TRACKING
STAGE 10: CALAMA > SALTA
Connection 501km | Special Stage 359km | Total 860km
COURSE OVERVIEW
The motorcyclists and quad bikers will set off for their second marathon stage! After the Chile-Argentina border, this time the day’s special stage will start on the Salinas Grandes, more than 3,600m above sea level. The altitude should curb the competitors’ enthusiasm and cool down their engines. The more technical final phase will separate the toughest of them from the rest. For the liaison section, the route will then follow the Paso de l’Acay, at an altitude of 4,970m.
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

That's my guess,,,, he is babying the engine
Live to fight another day.
Does the Gordini just not have the speed ? Curious what everyone thinks. Or did the others (mini, toyota) up their game. Probably both... Semi independent Toyota next year?? haha kidding, kind of.
after the 1st stage, nobody thought the Gordini was down on power!
There's plenty of power. Reliability is more allusive----but will evolve.
Mike further back in this thread I didn't mean to sound as if down on the effort I just had some questions. in the past Robby seemed to be able to fly by the Mini's and everyone else and in these later stages he hasn't seemed to have that ability and with Baja Bobs comment that the HST could be a handful it had me wondering but with oil pressure issues and now speculation the LS could really be hurt survival mode seems the best option screw winning stages or the race just finishing is huge right now. I've never even sat in a race car of any sort so with limited knowledge my insight can be far from 20-20. I believe this site is lucky to have the members we do with the knowledge they possess. Thanks guys.
Looks to be quite a bit of penalties again in this stage
Where are you seeing those?
