Yep, just Friday is possible (early start to get to SS3 from our appartment at la Selva del Camp) to do several locations. I shall take a walk from my place on Saturday and Sunday to see a different perspective.

Should be a good entry as all 3 sub-championships are included.

You have two options in the area of la Bisbal de Falset:

Option 1 41°16’45.49”N 0°43’19.76”E
At the village of La Bisbal de Falset. 90º left-hand intersection after crossing a bridge over river Montsant, coming from a very fast section. Good visibility.

Parking on the soccer filed of La Bisbal de Falset before midnight. If the parking area is full, the access will be closed at Margalef, located 3 km from the stage.


Option 2 41°17’24.16”N 0°42’58.23”E
Acces: Coming from Bellaguarda on the C-242, take a tarmac track to the right, 500 metres before the crossing with T-713 and before reaching PK-19 on this road.
Coming from the west on the C-242, 500 metres after the crossing with T-713 take the tarmac track to the left.
Once you arrive to a crossing that was a hairpin on 2007, follow the road to the right and you will reach the SS. Also good visibility.

Hope this can help you

Many thanks P, you've confirmed the thoughts I had about Option 2, but as there is no streetview for that road I was worried, I should be ok in a Clio :) . The bend that is reached by that road has a high bank to watch from so I think that's where I'll be going. Any opinion on Colldejou section of the Santa Marina stage? It will be hopefully easiest to travel back to Reus airport for my Sunday afternoon flight from there and there seem to be some interesting road elements.
Again, many thanks

The police stop spectators along way from the junction there leaving a long walk to the stage in case you are in a rush to leave, the junction is ok but there is some very good spots closer to and at the village but again requires a lot of walking

John Powell from Trinidad and Tobago will drive a Ford Fiesta WRC in Catalunya.

One thing that cheers me up right now is that it seems Hans Weijs in the DS3 is a fact now.

expecting Nikara much faster

I might be biased, but I doubt that he will be much faster.
