WRC - Rally Espana: Preview
|
2012 RALLYRACC CATALUNYA-COSTA DAURADA, RALLY DE ESPAÑA |
|||||||
|
The final round of the 2012 FIA World Rally Championship takes the contenders to the coastal resort of Salou for RallyRACC Catalunya-Costa Daurada, Rally de España. This is the only true mixed surface round of the series, with Friday’s opening day of competition run on gravel and the following two days contested on asphalt. As a consequence, final service on Friday has been extended to give the teams the opportunity to change the cars from gravel to Tarmac specification. This year’s itinerary includes two new innovations; the start ceremony moves to Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia and the second largest city in Spain, and an all-new super special stage has been introduced on the beach-front in Salou. Rally de España is the only event this season that will play host to all three support Championships. While the WRC titles have provisionally been won, and Elfyn Evans has claimed victory in the FIA WRC Academy Cup, the winning co-driver in this series will be decided in Spain. Additionally, the fight for the FIA Super 2000 and FIA Production Car World Rally Championship titles will go to the wire in this, the final round of the season.
