SS 9-SS 12 - Savallà Special stage guide

14.12 km (tarmac)


Saturday, 7 October 2017 • First car due: 09:54h and 15:02h

General description

This stage could be described as a stage of stages, since it includes several, very different sections, which turn it into a highly selective route. The stage starts going downwards, on worn tarmac but a wide road, two lanes with strong braking until the first left-hand quite wide intersection. The road is still wide for some metres but then turns into a single-lane, narrow road. It then goes up in a section of linked and medium-radius bends until Savallà del Comtat.

The route continues through a village, at high speed, to reach a downward hairpin, where the cars will have to brake strongly in order to continue, some 50 metres later, to a right-hand intersection and an asphalted road to Segura. It is one of the most beautiful areas of the stage and the whole rally. Spectator presence will not be allowed on the road to Segura, as it is very narrow and fast. There are no safe locations for the public, and therefore it is not recommended to get there.

The intersection in Segura is one of the most interesting points of the stage. After a very fast downward section, the cars continue on another type of road, wide, but with very abrasive tarmac. The downward section to Conesa has very fast bends which allow cutting them using the kerbs.

The last intersection of this stage is located in Conesa, a place which is easily accessible, which is reached after a series of quick bends. It goes upwards and the tarmac changes again. The visibility for spectators in this point is very good. The last section of the stage is very fast, on broken tarmac and a single-lane road.

Spectator Area ZP-1

The first intersection of the special stage. After the start with strong braking points and fast linked bends, the road ends on a wide intersection. Spectators have to be careful with their location, as the cars will arrive at high speed and going downward. The outer part, on the hillside, is an option that offers spectators the chance to enjoy the passage of cars with good visibility.

After the intersection, and on the inside of the kerb, there is also a large space for spectators, but with rather limited visibility.





Access: Following the T-224 road from Lloraç, which you can reach from two places: Tarrega or Cervera. From Tarrega, follow the C-14 to Montblanc/Solivella, to continue then on L-241 to Guimerà and Vallfogona de Riucorb; after the two villages follow the T-224.

From Cervera take the L-214 that crosses the village of La Guàrida Lada, Cabestany (L-243) and then turn left at the intersection to continue to Llorac/Santa Coloma de Queralt.

Parking: There is no specific car park. You must leave your car on the roadside. Remember: Do always leave a free lane, as all accesses are escape ways in case of an emergency!

Spectator Area ZP-2

This is one of the most complete sections of the stage, due to its visibility, spectacularity and location of the public. The cars arrive from a very fast section, passing by the village of Savallà del Comtat, to reach a downward left-hand hairpin. After the strong braking, there is a right-hand intersection to change the type of asphalt. The spectacularity and visibility of this spot are excellent.





Access: You may only access before the road is closed at 00:00h (depending on the amount of public the road may be closed earlier) following the TV-2244 coming from Conesa. You may reach Conesa from Rocafort de Queralt on the T-230 or following the TV-2301 from the village of Les Piles (east of Conesa).

Parking: There is no specific car park. You must leave your car on the roadside. Remember: Do always leave a free lane, as all accesses are escape ways in case of an emergency!

Spectator Area ZP-3

It is one of the strongest braking points of the stage. The intersection in the village of Segura, which is reached following the rural road that connects Savallà and Segura (forbidden section for the public), with a strong downward section at the end.

The location for the public will be very good, as there are several raised fields next to the road. It will surely be a spectacular spot to watch the race, as it is a very strong braking point at a downward going intersection.





Access: Following the T-243 from Tarrega or Cervera. From Tarrega follow the C-14 to Montblanc/Solivella and continue on the L-241 to Guimerà, Vallfogona de Riucorb. After the two villages turn right at the tight intersection and continue to Conesa.

From Cervera take the L-214 and cross the village of La Guàrida Lada, Cabestany (L-243). Then turn right to Vallfogona de Riucorb/Conesa. 200 metres later turn left to Conesa.

Parking: There is no specific car park. You must leave your car on the roadside. Remember: Do always leave a free lane, as all accesses are escape ways in case of an emergency!

Spectator Area ZP-4

This is the last intersection before the end of the stage and also the last change of tarmac. The cars get there after a fast downward section until the village of Conesa. It is an upward going intersection, but very tight. Spectators will have very good visibility, with the village in the background and a lot of space to stay and follow the passage of the cars in a safe way.





Access: You may reach Conesa from Rocafort de Queralt on the T-230 or following the TV-2301 from the village of Les Piles (east of Conesa). Before reaching Rocafort de Queralt follow the C241d from the village of Sarral.
