One of the iconic parts of the WRC, yet hasn't been used recently, which is yet another mistake in the sport.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Anyone know what is happening there? Are they just relaying the road surface or is there more to it...?

It's over, they are going to build a bigger road, if I'm not mistaken, so it's gonna disappear... There is a Facebook group, but I think it's now too late...

It's said that after the works it will be rebuild a few meters inside, but still will be a similar hairpin in this place, not the same obviously, but after all we will be able to see action on a new hairpin...

Hello! Again it's been a while
This year I'm coming back to Catalunya for a short holidays. This time I will be more to the north in L'Estartit. I can't wait to see how the hairpin's surrounding changed since 2009. And again I would like to ask you for a little favour.
I really enjoyed going through the former Viladrau special stage and I would like to see more such roads that were Rally Catalunya's classics when it was taking place at Costa Brava. Can you give me some clues where to go?
I will be in Catalunya from 5th to 12th September. Maybe you know if there's going to be any motorsport event held during this time? Is it possible to visit any local automobile club?
Thank's in advance!

Re: Famous hairpin on Catalunya's Viladrau SS
OK, I'm back
As about Viladrau hairpin, the way the road goes didn't change a lot, but hairpin was moved a little bit, making the way slightly shorter. The viaduct has now a second roadway that is over the old hairpin's spike. And when the new roadway was built, the old bridgehead lost its famous Catalunyan painting
I also visited Coll de Bracons special stage from Rally Catalunya Costa Brava 2001. I recorded the way using a phone attached to the rear view mirror with two hair bands borrowed from my wife You can see some excerpts here:
