STAGE 11 TRACKING


STAGE 11: SALTA > TERMAS DE RIO HONDO

Connection 326km | Special Stage 194km | Total 520km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The rally will continue on two separate routes, following the famous Ruta 40 and winding through its magnificent landscapes. Drivers won’t have time to relax on these fast routes though: the fatigue which will have accumulated by the 11th day of the race (the 4th marathon day for the motorcycles and quads!) will demand maximum concentration on both the route and the road-book. In the cockpits of the cars and trucks, the watchword will also be vigilance; these tracks are often lined with trees.

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

In the withdrawals section of Dakar.com, what does expulsion actually mean? I see nani roma, 355(the one thst towed RG last dakar), while others are withdrawn, did not start.....

I think they do that when the person isn't smart enough to withdraw on their own, they didn't do anything bad, but could hurt themselves or others if they continue.

The expulsions are generally imposed for failing to complete a stage in the total alloted time, or failure to arrive at the start line within the total alloted time to start.

I believe expulsion happens when you don't finish a stage by the prescribed time or in an accepted way in most cases.

I'm sure it would apply if you kicked an ASO official in the shin too.

Appears today wasn't ... all so uneventful ... jeje

Holy Guacamole!
From JC:

We crashed slid into embankment spun the car around in air
Landed backward on all four!
Restarted car and took off, could have been bad 100mph scrubbing speed when hit.
Window Wipers stopped and vision was problem.
