Dakar 2021

[drive]

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

priority drivers have to use only digital roadbook, rest using old paper ones. Priority drivers has paper roadbook sealed in the envelope, just in case if tablet version fails - otherwise they cannot use it. Everybody gets roadbooks only 20min before the stage start - to prevent 'big boys' using mapmans services as been years before when roadboks were given in the evening (mapmans overnight used to go step by step searching for shortcuts and difficult navigation parts) - that made even playing field for everybody, and now not only 'the rest' sometimes makes navigational errors as used to be every year, but leaders get navigation wrong sometimes also. And some of them are not happy

its a bit of Lottery now as co-drivers could easy make a mistake, but that is part of the game called Dakar ....
