STAGE 3 TRACKING
STAGE 3: TERMAS DE RIO HONDO > SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY
Connection 349km | Special Stage 314km | Total 663km
COURSE OVERVIEW
The format is tighter for the day’s race against the clock... as are the mountain tracks featuring in the special section. Experts in sliding and on the road will be able to showcase their skills here, as long as they stay constantly focused. Those hunting down the leaders will be on high alert during this route, which has been designed for opportunists. But the programme could also be transformed by any rain: even the strongest competitors do not necessarily perform well on heavy ground.
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

So, is RG can use larger air restrictor (39 mm vs 37.2 mm)? We can see rules about air restriction on page 90 : http://netstorage.lequipe.fr/ASO/dakar/2016/reglements/REG_AC_DK16_...
(T1.3 = FIA vehicles and OP1 = Score vehicles)

Funny how the crowd sits on their hands until the Gordini comes into view.

the Diesel's have a flat out boring exhaust note. At least the gas engines make noise.
