Facts & Figures of the 49 RallyRACC Catalunya-COSTA DAURADA, Rally de España 2013

(02/11/2013)

The material and human means that the RACC (Royal Automobile Club of Catalonia) manages to gather in order to organise the Spanish Rally with the usual efficiency are supported by two essential columns: On the one hand the material and financial resources made available by the collaborating companies and entities, and on the other, the people that make the organisational machinery work like clockwork. Experience and savoir faire are the words that best describe the organizational structure of a rally with 49 years of history, including 23 (almost half of them) as a scoring round of the FIA World Rally Championship.
