SS14/17 Santa Marina

26.51 km / Sunday, 11 November 2012 /Start 1st vehicle: 08:51 and 12:53

General description

One of the classic stages of the area, very technical, with a good surface and wide. Start running downwards after Coll de Fatxes to Pratdip, on asphalt with good grip and a fast and twisty track. The stage continues then to a narrower section, in worse condition, with small brows, and can be considered as a very technical section. The third section takes participants through Colldejou until Collroig, with long bends on good surface, with strong braking and where finding the right line is essential. The second passage of Santa Marina will be the Power Stage.
