STAGE 8 TRACKING


STAGE 8: SALTA > BELEN

Connection 373km | Special Stage 393km | Total 766km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The change of terrain which marks the entry into the second part of the rally should also mark a change in programme for the drivers, who will face the first dune sections of the 2016 edition. Experts in dunes crossing will have an opportunity to demonstrate their skills and even gain an advantage. They will also notice the navigational difficulties which have been introduced this year to complicate their existence. Louds of minutes could be lost by vehicles blocked in the sand.

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

I just hope he comes back. It's fun to watch a talented privateer amongst the hundred million dollar pro teams. Same reason I always liked watching him run the road courses in NASCRAP

It would be cool to see Land Rover sponsor the Gordini since its looks like the Land Rover Evoque. Then if they have a TD motor, there you go. I might try a little smaller tire and ultra lightweight wheels to regain some power. But again, every good idea comes down to one thing, $$$! So there ya go! $$$
