6.50 km (gravel)

Friday, 23 October de 2015 • First car due: 11:36h and 16:10h

General description

This special stage was used until last year in opposite direction, with the name of Gandesa. This year it is renewed, completely changing its features and with the name of the village it starts from: Bot. The stage, that follows the track known as RT-10 becomes a constant ascent until the last asphalt section. The gravel ground turns it into a stage with excellent conditions to be able to use the complete width.

Spectator Area ZP-1

Around one hundred metres from the start of the stage, there are several half-radius bends, not too fast, all of them linked in a descent.

Access: Walking from TV-3531, the road going from Bot (the town is approx. 1 km from the intersection of the stage start) to Gandesa.

Service: There is no delimited car park, so the best option is to leave the car parked in Bot and walk to the stage finish.

Spectator Area ZP-2

It is located in the final section of the stage. The track descends and goes up again, and changes from gravel to tarmac. After several linked bend on asphalt, the special continues downwards along a fast section until a few metres before the village of Gandesa.

Access: The finish is located some 400 metres from Gandesa, but the road is going to be closed from the build-up area onwards. There are several roads leading to Gandesa as the town is located in the junction of C-43 (from Benifallet), N-420 (from Corbera d'Ebre in one direction or from Calaceite in the other) or TV-7231 (from Vilalba dels Arcs).

Service: Look for a parking space in the town, as the stage finishes only a few metres away from Gandesa. The direct access to the stage is following the road called Calle Calvari.
