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.

replay slow mo ....

Robby did it again :p

Yes he would be good in racing cars. He has won Pikes Peak and the ROC Championship beating NASCAR and F1 Drivers

some American drivers, does ROC or Pikes Peak really count?

They are not Rallying, and he beat people in a related discipline. Beating the current NASCAR Champ, and a Former F1 Champ,gives you some credibility. I am referring to Sebastian Loeb, reply mechanism
Went a bit haywire
