Wrc Espana-Catalunya 2015

**dodge33cymru** · 13th October 2015, 10:19

Ha, yeah, sorry, I'm going exploring for the first time too. The first day (Thursday) there's a short party-style stage in Barcelona centre, not great viewing I don't expect but an interesting atmosphere.

You can see multiple passes of the top cars on Thursday morning in the Shakedown practice stage. It's a very short stage but visibility is good and the top drivers pass through it multiple times.

Friday I'm trying to work out if it's possible to do two stages. If not, the most famous of them is Terra Alta, but I don't know a huge amount about it. The whole day is a gravel event, so make sure you have access to a shower at the end of the day as it will be dusty.

Saturday and Sunday are on tarmac. Again, not sure if it's possible to see multiple stages, but I'd recommend staying on one stage for the day as, in between the main field passes, there's a demonstration of historics which will sound amazing.

The last stage of Saturday is another short spectator stage, but it's supposedly a great way to round out that day, but it might be busy.

There's a great guide on the official event site which gives you directions to good spectator points on each stage.

Any other questions, give me a shout.

2 stages can be done morning and afternoon if you don't wander too far from your car on arrival at Terra Alta and only watch the WRC. on the 1st stage.

I think it's the best entry list for WRC2 this year....I am looking forward to see what Suarez can do with the 208T16

I guess Block is completely done with WRC, but all the best contenders of WRC2 are there and that has potential to be a great fight.

Block always announces his motorsport programme at the start of each year so there should be no surprise he's not in Catalunya. With the strong re-emergence of rallycross that is where he has put most of his focus. He's only entered four rallies in each of the last two seasons.

Interesting that Hayden uses different grading system in gravel and asphalt. Also great to see that Hayden takes the time to reply to messages:

@HaydenPaddon @RallyRACC What's with the change of steering wheel? Do you use somewhat different pacenotes for tarmac/gravel? @JKCoDriver

Hayden Paddon ‏@HaydenPaddon 1h1 hour ago
@HartusvuoriWRC @RallyRACC @JKCoDriver yes we using a different grading system because of the different speeds. Is work in progress
