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!

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. 2.4 Previous winners I 1957 Sebastián Salvadó - «MILANO» Alfa Romeo 1975 II 1958 Luciano Eliakin - Augusto Lluch Saab 93 III 1959 Alex Soler-Roig - Manuel Romagosa Porsche IV 1960 Max Hohenlohe - Augusto Lluch BMW 700 V 1961 Joan Fernández - Ramon Grifoll BMW 700 VI 1962 «CLERY» - «CALA» BMW 700 VII 1963 Jorge Palau-Ribes - Jorge Palou Fiat Abarth 850 VIII 1964 Jaume Juncosa - Salvador Cañellas Fiat Abarth 1000 IX 1973 Salvador Cañellas - Daniel Ferrater Seat 1430 / 1800 X 1974 Marc Etchebers - Marie Christine Etchebers Porsche Carrera XI 1975 Antonio Zanini - Eduardo Martínez Seat 1430 / 1800 XII 1976 Jorge de Bagration - Manuel Barbeito Lancia Stratos XIII 1977 Antonio Zanini - Juan José Petisco Seat 124 / 1800 XIV 1978 Antonio Zanini - Juan José Petisco Fiat 131 Abarth XV 1979 Beni Fernández - José Luis Sala Fiat 131 Abarth XVI 1980 Antonio Zanini - Jordi Sabater Porsche 911 SC XVII 1981 Eugenio Ortiz - Guillermo Barreras Renault 5 Turbo XVIII 1982 Antonio Zanini - Víctor Sabater Talbot Sunbeam Lotus XIX 1983 Andártico Vudafieri - Tiziano Siviero Lancia Rallye XX 1984 Salvador Servià - Jordi Sabater Opel Manta 400 6 43 RallyRACC Catalunya COSTA DAURADA – Rally de España 2007 Rally Guide 1 XXI 1985 Fabrizio Tabaton - Luciano Tedeschini Lancia Rallye XXII 1986 Fabrizio Tabaton - Luciano Tedeschini Lancia Delta S4 XXIII 1987 Dario Cerrato - Giuseppe Cerri Lancia Delta HFAWD XXIV 1988 Bruno Saby - Jean François Fauchille Lancia Delta 4 WD XXV 1989 Yves Loubet - Jean-Marc Andrié Lancia Delta Integrale XXVI 1990 Dario Cerrato - Giuseppe Cerri Lancia Delta Integrale XXVII 1991 Armin Schwarz - Arne Hertz Toyota Celica GT4 XXVIII 1992 Carlos Sainz - Luis Moya Toyota Celica T 4WD XXIX 1993 François Delecour - Daniel Grataloup Ford Escort Cosworth 4x4 XXX 1994 Enrico Bertone - Max Chiapponi Toyota Celica T4WD XXXI 1995 Carlos Sainz - Luis Moya Subaru Impreza 555 XXXII 1996 Colin McRae - Derek Ringer Subaru Impreza 555 XXXIII 1997 Tommi Makinen - Seppo Harjanne Mitsubishi Lancer Evo4 XXXIV 1998 Didier Auriol - Denis Giraudet Toyota Corolla WRC XXXV 1999 Philippe Bugalski - Jean Paul Chiaroni Citroën Xsara Kit Car XXXVI 2000 Colin McRae - Nicky Grist Ford Focus WRC XXXVII 2001 Didier Auriol - Denis Giraudet Peugeot 206 WRC XXXVIII 2002 Gilles Panizzi – Hervé Panizzi Peugeot 206 WRC XXXIX 2003 Gilles Panizzi – Hervé Panizzi Peugeot 206 WRC XL 2004 Markko Martin – Michael Park Ford Focus RS WRC04 XLI 2005 Sébastien Loeb – Daniel Elena Citroën Xsara XLII 2006 Sébastien Loeb – Daniel Elena Citroën Xsara 7 43 RallyRACC Catalunya COSTA DAURADA – Rally de España 2007 Rally Guide 1 3.
