Famous hairpin on Catalunya's Viladrau SS

[Barreis]

Haha, the car was rented and the road not closed (I met two cars going opposite direction), so I didn't gamble

What about waiting while they pass?!

What other rallies is this section of road used for? Sure I've seen pics from a Spanish or Regional champiopnship round going down hill at least...

National Rallye Costa Brava, Historic one, and some Catalonian Rallyes&Rallysprints

I had hill on the left and trees on the right and no way to see what's around the corner for almost all the time. And I was driving a station wagon. You may say I'm looking for excuses for not driving agressive, but I really didn't feel comfortable enough to do so. And my two passenger girls were quite impressed anyway

And there are skid marks all the way through, local "hooligans" are making use of this road, no question about it

Still some skidmarks..

I think that stage is still used in a local rally or rallysprint without being 100% sure.

I'm not from Catalonia, so I don't know which are their Regional rallyes, but here you have the info about Rallye Costa Brava (Old WRC Rallye Catalunya):

I haven't been to a rally for two years but that hairpin use to be run in several rallies of the Catalan championship like Rally d'Osona (http://www.escuderiaosona.com).

Hi Eloyf1 colleague, how are you doing? Rally Costa Brava goes over the hairpin but drivers do not do the hairpin, as I said, is not a common hairpin, is a junction of 2 ways which convined can make a hairpin if you change the way (if you want you can go straight, the road continues ahead). In Rally Costa Brava cars will pass under the bridge even they will face the Catalonia's flag coming from St. Sadurni d'Osormort but the hairpin ain't gonna exist.
