Programme Rallye Wrc Espagne Catalogne 2013 !
News from España this year night special stages, DAY3 gravel SS, and driver choice for DAY3 decided by overall saturday night ;)
We're considering Catalunya this year, are the Tarmac stages interesting enough to make the visit worthwhile? If it was 2 days of Gravel we wouldn't think twice!
I'm as expert on this rally as on Rally Sweden (you know ;) ). Everybody says it's one of the worst itineraries ever. You should better choose Alsace to see the last big battle. :)Quote:

Moreover, the chosen stages aren't the best ones to run by night. Gravel stages on Sunday mean that there will be plenty of people there, being even more difficult to move between stages. In addition, you will need to walk for miles to arrive to the spectator zones.
I'm also not a fan of Alsace, but every rally without Loeb (fighting against Ogier) will be worse than the French event for a while.
Believe me, Alsace would be easier without than with Loeb.Quote:

Here you go: http://www.rally-maps.com/Rally-de-España-2013
edit: link does not seem to work because of the "ñ", just copy paste it in the address bar.
ok many thanks for that
In France they could started in reverse order, but in Spain not? What is that FIA?? ;)
Nice shakedown lol.

We're arriving friday morning, because we already thought the shakedown would be like this, so good decision! :)
Easy job just removing gravel and now just a roundabout and a long straight with chicanes, Boring :D
Who will have no24 at Rally Catalunya? :-P
I think Tomáš Kostka was rumored to be a late entry.
Would make sense, as the car 24 is placed next to WRC3 Citroën drivers in service park map.Quote:

P.S. Could a mod replace ñ with n in the subject of the thread, please?
What about any national drivers taking part of the rally? Like in Rally Finland there was Vetomies-group.. Is there any such group driving on Rally RACC?
Btw we are coming to spectate this event :) eventhough some says that it is not so good rally whit bad itienary.. That does not matter! Rallying is always rallying and there is always something to see! ;)
By current rules.Quote:

Sordo's take on the issue :

Without significant rain we have a nice potential for a farcical event. :)
why they choosed the reverse order at Sunday?
The organizers don't want the leader after leg two sweeping roads on day three (gravel). Nobody would want to lead at the end of Saturday.Quote:

Tomorrow my flight goes to Spain... First time for me visiting this rally, looking forward to it.
Does anyone have any information on live streaming? The French streaming was awesome. I sat glued to the screen in Australia.
