Looks like a trasure hunt! I remember drivers driving in circles or going back in past editions, but this edition seems something else.

They can choose to have the roadbook in several formats, analogue and digital. Top notch, and dig roadbook is cool.

According to the interviews with our crews (which I watched now) it was only the first waypoint today which was tricky and caused this funny photos and videos. There was a hidden turn somewhere between the cliffs which majority of competitors missed and had to go back and search for it. Otherwise in all those interviews there were nearly no complaints towards the organizers. Mostly they were happy with today's stage.
Big crash of Lategan. He has a broken collarbone. The co-driver is ok.

Peterhansel and Al Attiyah never lost half an hour with a navigational error. I think it's down to experience. Guys like Sainz and Loeb only do 1 rally raid a year, they could also practice more...

I agree with you, but just remember that Peterhansel has 30+ plus years competing on Dakar, Al Attiyah has less time but has a lot of experience in dunes.
I don't think there would be a lot of difference for Loeb and Sainz even if they competed on all World Cross Country events during the year...
The Rally GB event doesn’t run anymore. The was always other events using the forests at different times anyway.
