>> EVENT DESCRIPTION

Catalunya is the closest that the World Rally Championship comes to circuit racing. The Spanish event is the quickest asphalt rally on the calendar, characterised by wide roads with fast and sweeping corners. There are also some slower and more technical sections higher up in the mountains. Accurate pace notes are vital in order to describe the correct 'racing line' through all the quick bends. However, in cutting the corners cars drag mud and dust onto the road, meaning that the second run through stages is often more like a gravel rally! The slippery surfaces have caught out many drivers in the past, as has the changeable weather. Bring an umbrella if you plan on visiting the mountain stages; fog is quite common as well. Spanish fans are amongst the most passionate in the world, so drivers and teams are always assured of a hero's welcome.
