Regulations of the 55 RallyRACC have been published

27/08/2019

La Mussara will be the Power Stage to score additional points

The Supplementary Regulations of the 55 RallyRACC Catalunya-COSTA DAURADA, Rally de España have been published under the link "Documents" on the www.rallyracc.com website. This document opens the entry period for the penultimate round of the 2019 FIA World Rally Championship. The entry form is also available on the same site.

All teams and drivers interested in taking part in the 55 RallyRACC will find all necessary documents to know the details of the rally structure on the same website: itinerary, maps, timetable and the Rally Guide 1, which is already available since mid-June.

The itinerary of the rally has actually been slightly modified, as a consequence of the TV coverage needs of the WRC promoter. The Power Stage, last stage of the race that provides additional points to the top five times, will finally be "La Mussara", which is now SS15 and SS17, while Riudecanyes has become SS14 and SS16. This change does not really modify the itinerary since both special stages will be the same, as they had been initially designed. The only change is the order in which they will be raced. This will lead to minimal changes in the schedule of the rally day. The rest of the itinerary will be the same, as launched weeks ago.

On the other hand, it has been decided that the Shakedown or test stage shall be the same as the one staged in the past years, i.e. in the area of Emprius in Salou, with a mixed gravel-tarmac surface with a length of 2 km: 999 metres on gravel and 1,01 metres on tarmac. The Shakedown will be staged from 9.00h onwards on Thursday, 24 October.

The 55 RallyRACC Catalunya-COSTA DAURADA, Rally de España, will be the 13th and penultimate scoring round of the 2019 FIA World Rally Championship, it is organised by the RACC and will be staged from 24 to 27 October, having its nerve centre in Salou, PortAventura World and Costa Daurada. The race will be a scoring round towards the FIA World Rally Championship for Drivers, Co-Drivers and Manufacturers/Teams, and also for the support championships WRC2 Pro an WRC2, as well as the promotion series Peugeot Rally Cup Ibérica and Beca Júnior R2.
