SS-3 /SS 6 – El Montmell – 24.140 kms.

General description:
The El Montmell stage is already a classic stage of the RallyRACC Catalunya – Costa Daurada. It is made up by two well differentiated sectors. The first sector starts in Vila-rodona and, as last year, there will be a chicane before accessing the village centre of Can Ferrer on a very fast section. The stage becomes very fast around this village to continue along a twistier section until the area of Aiguaviva and the junction in Pla de Manlleu. Then the stage takes the TP-2441, much wider and with new asphalt, finishing with a vertiginous and twisty descent.

ZP-1 is located 2 km from Vila-rodona, at the start of the special. It is an area with large visibility, with long bends linked by fast sections. Perfect location due to a natural grandstand.


Access-1: Go to Vila-rodona from exit 11 of the AP-2 highway. The start is located some 2 km from the village centre.

Spectator areas ZP-2
ZP-2 is one of the most spectacular spots of the rally, the junction of El Molar with a 180º angle, in which cars habitually use their handbrakes. You have to get there early since there is no natural stand and there is not a good visibility.


Access-1: From exit 11 of the AP-2 highway, take C-51 heading for Rodonyà and on Km 19.7 take TV-2444 that will take you to the stage.


Services: Small limited parking. Parking on the quite narrow access road.

Spectator areas ZP-3

ZP-3 is the wide area of Aiguaviva. This is the point in which the stage changes surface and the whole area is quite fast with a spectacular braking section at the TP-2442 junction.



Access-1: The south access is an asphalted road starting in La Juncosa del Montmell. To reach this village, follow TV-2401 either from C-51 passing Rodonyà or from La Bisbal del Penedès.

Access-2: The north access is the T-244 passing Pla de Manlleu. This road can only be taken from Torrelles de Foix and Pontons following the same itinerary that takes you to the Querol stage.

Services: : In both cases, the parking is limited to the roads leading to the stage.
