1. INTRODUCTION and WELCOME

Dear friends,

Welcome to the 43rd edition of the RallyRACC-Catalunya COSTA DAURADA!

It’s been longer than usual since the 2006 edition due to the reorganization of the FIA World Championship Calendar. We have moved from spring to autumn.

But there are actually no major changes to highlight, apart from the change of dates. The route has only been slightly modified, as you will be able to see in the comparison we have included in this Guide.

All our last year's sponsors are also supporting us this year: Telefónica Movistar, our main sponsor, and Würth, as co-sponsor, the city of Salou and the Costa Daurada, as well as the Tarragona Chamber of Commerce and PortAventura.

The podium will be located in Salou to host the official start of the rally on Thursday 4th October from 19.30h, the finish and the prize giving on Sunday 6th October. The PortAventura theme park will be the venue of the Service Park after Leg 1 and 2 and the Rally Village. The Rally HQ, including Race Direction, Media Room and Secretariat will be located in the Hotel PortAventura.

As every year, the whole team of the organization is at your disposal to assist you in anything you should need to prepare your participation.

Once again, on behalf of my entire team, welcome to the 43 edition of the RallyRACC-Catalunya COSTA DAURADA.

See you in October and with our best wishes for a successful event!

Best regards,

Aman Barfull Clerk of the Course

43 RallyRACC Catalunya COSTA DAURADA – Rally de España 2007 Rally Guide 1

2.3 Brief event history Since its beginnings in 1906, the Reial Automòbil Club de Catalunya (RACC) has been behind the organisation of the best car and motorcycle events in the country.

In 1916, the RACC promoted the first Volta Catalunya, the forerunner of the Rally Catalunya, which would appear in 1957.

In 1965, and for nine years, it was replaced by the Rally Barcelona-Andorra.

In 1988 the two most important rallies in the country which score for the European Championship, the Rally Catalunya and the Rally Costa Brava, came together with a view to becoming a rally that would score for the World Championship.

Finally, in 1991, the FIA included the Rally Catalunya-Costa Brava in the World Championship Calendar.

The high organisation and sports level the event has achieved is reflected by the two prizes obtained in 1996 and 1997, when it was elected the Best Rally of the Year by the World Rally Team Association (WRTA), and was also considered the Best Event of the World Championship by the World Rally Press Association (WRPA) in 1997.

In 2005 the rally changes its nerve centre and moves to the Costa Daurada. Stages already used in previous editions of the rally are recovered from the years when one leg of the rally was staged on the roads of Tarragona. Salou and PortAventura will host the HQ and the Rally Service Park.

Five months later, in march 2006, the rally was celebrated again, moved from October to March.

Do to FIA calendar reasons, edition 2007 moves again to Autumn.
