Where is the steepest section of road in the WRC?

No idea about now, but the tarmac bit of Wykeham used to be pretty steep.......

I'd say in Finland. Urria stage's "jump", it's more of a drop though.

Although in Sardinia there's quite bad jump/dip on stage called Punta Pianedda. In 2008 atleast JML jumped way too much there even though he had a special note in the place. Mikko also jumped too much.

If "section of road" doesn't include jumps/dips/crests/etc. then I'm guessing there might be some good candidates in Argentinean stages.

Isn't that called Moor Road? I walked downit a few years ago and it is now very narrow and overgrown.

I really mean hill, but a jump is still a gradient.

I would say around 1:4 or 1:3 but that jump is so big it is not a proper jump like you get in Finland but a nosedive down a hill! :D

[Mirek]

Most of the crews don't jump there. It's a bit dangerous...

It's at 5:00 of this onboard (Jussi Valimaki): http://www.ulozto.cz/3221011/jussivalimaki-australia2007-ek10.wmv

I might be the first person in the world to realise this, but that is a steep hill and not a jump, and i would not jump that because of what happend in the video.

I have smashed the car on that 'severe grandient' on Richard Burns Rally.

Argentina must have some pretty steep sections.

Yeah, even on that play(RBR) your hair raises when you enter that place too fast.... :p :

Jepp, that last one was what I meant. :eek:

[Langdale Forest]

I was playing WRC4 recentley and SS4 & SS5 (Foini), are extremley steep in places.

[WRCfan]

I know Tristan who is co-driving the blue VR4 in the Youtube clip above. He said it was scary as hell and they were lucky to come out as they did.


Could have bee much worse!

Mikko also jumped too much. Yes this is the steepest one I can remember, along with Mineshaft which isn't. Maybe someone can find a video of it.
