Wrc Rally Argentina 2017

@Dmacktyres
Heavy rain made day 1 of the Argentina recce pretty tricky, lots of very muddy sections on Friday stages and fog on El Condor https://t.co/KrEAO7KFA4

On Tuesday 25th April I traveled 12 hours by long distance bus from Mendoza to Cordoba. Final section of trip was from Mina Clavero over El Condor and then thru Villa Carlos Paz. On highest sections of road near El Condor you could see a small amount of snow. I do not think it was recent snow more likely residual amount from snow melt.

Enjoy your trip Gary. Very jealous and keen to get your thoughts as it's a bucket list event for me. And a lot of others I'd imagine.

it is abnormally cold nowadays in Cordoba mountains.
Temperatures below 0 expected in Mina Clavero and El Condor (arround -5°C), so not snow, but some isolated ice patches in gravel may be found (not such a problem for drivers as gravel keep enought traction and car, yes for spectators staying all night up there!!)

Do not worry, it is getting gradually warmer each day now and no minus degrees when stage is held.

So do we think if might be a disadvantage for Meeke and Paddon running far back? Or will there still be a huge amount of cleaning?
