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.

No one commented on this.

13:01 : Cars: Gordon’s back

The American behind the wheel of his Gordini seems determined to let his engine do the talking today. At CP2, he is in 5th position, 15 seconds behind Stéphane Peterhansel. In front of the Frenchman the trio of Loeb, Sainz and Al Attiyah is unchanged


So I will go to sleep.

27P CONTROL PROCEDURE

6) Control of the speed In case of speeding, if a Crew possesses two working GPS and the two speeds recorded are different, the Crew is penalised on the lowest speed.

Nice research. Thanks. Maybe there is room/time/opportunity for an appeal.
