STAGE 6 TRACKING
STAGE 6: UYUNI > UYUNI
Connection 181km | Special Stage 542km | Total 723km
COURSE OVERVIEW
The longest special section of the Dakar takes place on the 6th day of consecutive racing. And that is not the only difficulty of this operation, which will take place between 3,500 and 4,200m in altitude. The pace and surfaces change constantly, alternating between sand and rock, which may be disconcerting, especially if it rains. Glimpses of the Salar d’Uyuni are but one of the visual delights on the agenda. Meanwhile, the truck category, which will race separately on this 6th stage, will visit the home town of the President Evo Morales.
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

Stephan, thank you for the youtube link. There are 15 episodes about Puegoets Dakar program, it is the definition of "Factory" effort. Those who haven't seen the videos, search "peugeot unchained" episodes 1 -15.

i watched it and basically they took a production block and spent millions developing an engine that stretches the rules

for sure they were embaressed but id say it might have something to do with whatever turbo they are using as they fail to mention any details about it but go fairly indepth with the rest with images

Probably more, I don't know the calculation but how much air do you need in a 3.0 to make 600ft lb.

I’m not superstitious, but again, I don’t want to jinx Robby, but his opportunity to gain in the overall at the moment is looking pretty good: #’s 328, 316, 325, 329 have just now reached waypoint 5 and #’s 306 & 308 have yet to even reach waypoint 2.
