STAGE 5 TRACKING


STAGE 5: SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY > UYUNI

Connection 315km | Special Stage 327km | Total 642km

COURSE OVERVIEW

All round vigilance is required for this second part of the marathon stage: in addition to managing mechanics, particularly the tyres, all the drivers will have to pay attention to their own bodies’ reactions. Entry into Bolivia is also marked by an abrupt increase in altitude, rising to 4,600m –the higher point in Dakar’s story- during the day’s special section. Technically, it is also in this stage that the rally steps up a gear, with the first off-piste sections as well as some navigational gems which might be a headache for some navigators…


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

Maybe just a flat tire

Well if it is a flat they may need pit stop practice

Toyo's don't go flat, the rims fail to hold air. ;-)

Yeah CREED overdue

Creed wp5 29th down 18:58

Creed seemed to overdrive the car in the earlier video posted crossing the water. I hope it's just a flat

What may seem like over driving to you and me, to Creed that was probably taking it easy lol.

The kid can wheel it. I'm impressed with him so far

He is giving it the onion for sure! He is doing better then BJ did a couple years ago, and this is Creed's first offroad race.

He is back all is good

Just driving it like he stole it... Don't think Robby would want any less

You may want to look at footage of Robby driving cars in his younger years.
