SS 1/SS 4 - Caseres Special stage guide

12.50 km (gravel)


Friday, 6 October 2017 • First car due: 0953h and 15:19h

General description

The stage is identical to the stage run in 2015 and 2016. The initial part of the special is very fast and narrower than the second part. The stage starts in the village of Caseres, which gives the name to the special. After the intersection in Arenys de Lledó (which is passed straight) the special becomes wider, first going flat with a light ascent, to finish going down on an excellent surface to make use of the whole width of the road.

Spectator Area ZP-1

Located in the first section of the stage, a few metres from the start. There are a series of half-radius bends on a rather narrow road, in addition to some gradients, before reaching the intersection in Arenys de Lledó. Very fast section. Safe location on the raised parts next to the crop areas.





Access: Gravel track of about 2 km starting from the village of Caseres and continuing parallel to the stage. You may also reach the area from Arenys de Lledó, following the route of the former stage until this point.

Parking: Car park on the same access road, always leaving enough space to avoid blocking.

Spectator Area ZP-2

Final upward section of the special and start of the section going down to the village of Bot. Several roads coming from the wind farm meet here. It is a left-right bend on a light gradient that is reached after a 90º right-hander, on a rather wide track with good visibility. Safe location on the raised parts next to the crop areas.





Access: From Kp 791.6 of N-420 road follow the track to the wind farm and continue about 2 km to reach the described junction.

Parking: Easy parking area next to the stage access track.

Spectator Area ZP-3

A very interesting place as there is a strong braking point on gravel to challenge a narrow angle to turn left on dirty asphalt, located exactly 100 metres before the finish. Safe location on the raised areas, away from the braking point.





Access: Walking from Bot.

Parking: In the village of Bot, or easily inside the soccer field of the village, the latter being located exactly 700 metres from the area.
