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.

I had to step out for a few hours and help my daughter with some car problems... got back now and see Creed's ramp jump. Can someone provide for me a link to PLANET SHELDON?

Yeah, Mike. He's exceeding expectations, me thinks. Nice. Enjoying the Dakar from afar again this year. Thanks for your observations.

Sheldon is not exceeding mine, he is how ever proving everyone that was pimping him right.
The young man is a talent

341 Sireyjol is water carrier for Peugeot as part of official team. Dumas is private customer but obviously helped Despres as fellow Pug driver. Dakar site shows Sireyjol in Toyota but he's in the Pug.
