SS 13/SS 16 – Capafonts Special stage guide

19.80 km (asphalt)

Saturday, 24 October 2015 • First car due: 11:23h and 15:57h

General description

It is one of the historic stages of the rally which had already been used when the rally was a European round, but this time it will have a different configuration. The initial part of the stage, starting in Capafonts, is the twistiest, with sections that run through forests and on good asphalt. In the central part (the one which is reached from Mont-ral), the special speeds up and climbs slightly to enter the last section, i.e. the descent to Alcover. The road gets wider, but the asphalt becomes worse, and the descending speed may become very high.

Spectator Area ZP-1

Located in the central part of the stage. The cars will arrive driving down, negotiating two hairpins, the first one rather closed but with little visibility and the second one more open with a raised area that offers good visibility to spectators.

Access: Follow the asphalted track that comes from the village of Farena and previously from La Riba. To reach Farena follow the road TV-7044.

Service: There is no delimited car park, and the option is therefore to leave the vehicle on the roadside taking care not to block circulation.

Spectator Area ZP-2

Very fast road, with good visibility before the beginning of the downward running section of the stage. The cars arrive there after two long straights passing (on the right hand side in the direction of the special) the Mont-ral intersection. Possibility to watch nice kerb cuts.

Access: Walking from the village of Mont-ral, which is reached following the TV-7045 road.

Service: Car park in Mont-ral, making it very easy to reach the stage.
