STAGE 2 TRACKING


STAGE 2: VILLA CARLOS PAZ > TERMAS DE RIO HONDO

Connection 337km | Special Stage 521km* | Total 858km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The statistics speak for themselves: with around 800 kilometres to cover depending on the category, the day will be very long. There is a significant distance to cover in both the special and the liaison sections: although the terrain presents no real difficulties, the relatively fast tracks may already benefit those who love hills and crossing rivers and who can keep up high speeds over the whole distance. Cars and trucks are entitled to an extension on this day.


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

Thanks Mike. It is nice to see tracking seems better at the moment.

Biggest surprise is Nova and Roma losing :27 & :45 today...

Both got stuck in the mud.

Aren't the Pugs rear wheel drive? Wow, they certainly improved over the year...
And man, that mud (sink) hole probably got worse and worse.

it was good to start near the front

Keywords: Traction Control.

ECM's are open. T/C is legal.

If RG and Creed are having almost the same time,. RG is having problems or he is racing too conservative, extremely conservative, if that is the case, he or both will need to push harder on next stages,. will see.

Conditions played a big role today.

Loeb beat the bikes by almost a min.

Can't wait for the last 10 trucks to hit this.

This puddle will be a bottom less tranch soon ...
Glad RG passed it
