Fan-favorite American driver Gordon got off to a bad start when his Humvee got bogged down while climbing a dune, delaying it by more than 30 minutes.Gordon finally ranked only 137th, 31 minutes and 45 seconds behind.

During the period of rest at the base camp, it does not mean that the competitors can completely rest if they say anything. The drivers don’t care about rest at all, and they have to quickly preview the road book for the next day.
At a speed of 170 kilometers per hour, distractedly looking at the road book is a bit like trying to read a newspaper full of fine print on a wobbly subway.And at the moment of this glance, you have already driven nearly 50 meters forward. To complete such a job is simply "impossible task" for ordinary people.If you fail to mark a boulder [-] meters away on your road book, or fail to notice it during the race, it could mean the end of your Dakar schedule.
After studying the road book, there are only a few poor hours of sleep left.
Ye Ling and his team would huddle on the floor of a small house, sometimes a tent, with only two blankets as thin as paper.Ye Ling spread one on the ground as a mattress and the other as a quilt, but it was only enough to cover half of his body.So Ye Ling tried to get used to sleeping in a full racing suit, and Ye Ling would put part of the protective gear in a bag and use it as a pillow.
But within a few hours, I have to get up again to prepare for a new day's schedule.
The experience of the first day is not bad, the athletes will get some longer rest.
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Ling woke up early after only sleeping for more than five hours, but he was not in a hurry to leave the base camp. He checked and repaired the car for an hour first.
The second track of the Kara Rally is just the beginning of the competition.
Sunday, March 2013, 1
The second stage: PISCO-PISCO
Driving section: 85KM Stage: 242KM
100% desert
This stage is very interesting. The riders will start from Pisco and go around a circle and then return to the starting point. The whole process is desert.
As in previous years, this year still more than 25% of the players participated in the Dakar for the first time.Today's stage allows them to directly enter the all-sand environment and cross some relatively "tame" dunes.And this "water test" not only provides them with an opportunity to test and adjust their driving skills, but also some of them will experience the fun of digging sand in the desert when the engine of some cars encounters high water temperature for the first time.
100% of the eyes and hearts of this stage are sand. This small dismounting power cannot deprive most drivers and navigators of the opportunity to taste this "delicacy feast" with their eyes.Because in terms of aesthetic standards, the scenery here is close to perfection.
After Ye Ling came here, he immediately felt what the Dakar Rally had brought to him.
Heat and desert!
You will never experience the feeling of live on TV and video.
Ye Ling actually felt the sweltering heat of walking in the desert, as well as the helplessness of being in the boundless desert.
Even though Ye Ling had turned on the air conditioner in the car, he could still feel the stuffiness, which made it difficult for him to breathe.
In the second stage, the driving stage is only 85 kilometers, but the special stage has reached 242 kilometers.
However, Ye Ling was very relieved that within this distance, there were no distances beyond the track, which meant that today's driving distance was all within the race schedule.
Ye Ling has never experienced this kind of environment before, so his body is a little uncomfortable, but the Dakar Rally master car skills that Ye Ling bought with honor points include the ability to adapt to the track in various environments .
In fact, Ye Ling's body just didn't get used to the skills given by the system from the very beginning. After about ten minutes, Ye Ling had fully adapted to it.
The competition has entered the stage of a special track. There are some spectators and some staff members around here, but these people are not qualified to participate in this competition. For example, once athletes are injured or have a condition, they are not allowed to enter of the playing field.
The helicopter has already recorded the whole game over the competition field.
The roar of motorcycles, cars and trucks can be heard at any time on the track.
Every time a motorcycle passes a dune, it will throw up dust several meters high.
And as long as cars and trucks pass by, there will inevitably be dust.
And every time the car passes through a sand dune, you will jump up in the air like a monster with claws and claws, and then hit a piece of sand. If it is not for a professional off-road vehicle and an athlete married, the car will crash or fall into a sand pit. .
Of course, crashes and falling into bunkers are also a normal part of the Dakar Rally.
No, the accident happened at this time.
In the previous driver of Ye Ling, he got stuck in a sand dune.
By the time Ye Ling passed by him, he had already wasted 10 minutes there.
It is a very common thing to get stuck in the sand dunes in the Dakar Rally, and it is often the charm of the rally. When the word off-road is mentioned, there must be sand along with it. , There will also be an unprecedented collapse.
Ye Ling continued to drive forward. The road was really smooth and he didn't encounter any special circumstances. It also showed its driving skills on some road sections that needed to cross sand dunes.
Ye Ling looked very excited, and this unprecedented excitement made his heart surge.
However, he calmed down quickly. During this competition, the mentality of the players cannot change. If he is too excited, he will encounter some troubles if he is not careful.
No, Ye Ling's first trouble is coming soon.
And this trouble was not only a trap for him alone, almost 80% of the players fell into this trouble.
There is a very difficult pass point in this game, and many players have lost a lot of time on this point.
Ye Ling was very vigilant, he had already noticed something was wrong before reaching the passing point.You can see a canyon on your right, and Ye Ling can vaguely hear the roar of the engine coming from the valley.
Ye Ling could feel very clearly that this was definitely not the sound that one or two cars could make. There must be the roar of ten cars in this canyon at the same time.
