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.

Creed is currently stopped on the course.

Is creed stopped with RG

No. RG is on the transfer section

Creed has yet to reach KM162, the start of the transfer section

This has got to be Robby's most flustered year ever with all the preparation that has been done and the poor results. I hope he is back again with a really big sponsor but doubt it.

Nothing that winning powerball wouldn't solve

That would be a good budget for sure:)

If I won the powerball, I would sponsor team SPEED!

A guy did in VA and bought a NASCAR Truck team. Don't think they're around anymore.

Hey tool you been starting any crap with anymore trees?

Ha, thats a HUGE negative! The trees won for sure. Still paying for that with my body...

get the Hummer back !!!

Scooter 2011. 2016 is a miracle of precision compared to 11
