Jan 16th, 2016 Dakar Rally Stage 13 Race Info & Discussion

Join in and discuss all the action from Stage 13 of the 2016 Dakar Rally. This is the final stage of the rally. Thank you all for supporting the planet, and hope to see you back next year. Robby Gordon start time: 7:02am/et,

STAGE 13 TRACKING

STAGE 13: VILLA CARLOS PAZ > ROSARIO

Connection 519km | Special Stage 180km | Total 699km

COURSE OVERVIEW

Aspiring winners will certainly be those who find the 180km of the day’s special section the most difficult, designed with twisty, undulating routes, faster sandy and rocky sections… leading to significant levels of stress. For most of the others, the 699km to be covered before reaching the podium in Rosario will be a relief. To be enjoyed without moderation…

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

Thank you everyone for coming and spending your morning here at the Planet and with myself. Personally, thank you for finding interesting video's and content. I've enjoyed the two week roller coaster that is DAKAR with you all.
Robby and Kellon just need to make it to Rosario.

Sorry the results weren't what we all had hoped for, but nevertheless, hopefully we will get to see this again in 2017.

I was watching Headline News yesterday and they were doing a story on the 33 Chilian miners and the guy is still wearing his SPEED Energy hat that he wore on Letterman and just now on FOX News a truck drove by with a bunch of orange carrots on the side truck name: GORDON

Felt this could have been the year, especially with the second car, But once again, big money and factory support wins out. 50 more weeks till next year.
Hope he tries it again, but if not, who could blame him.
