Introduction and Welcome It is an honour to be able to have for the third consecutive year, the Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) in this 36th Edition of the Rally Islas Canarias “El Corte Inglés”, an emblematic event in the European Cup, the Spanish Championship and the Provincial and Regional Championships, fact that fills us with pride, and which is the reason why we work really hard during the year. This year, if it is possible, everything has been harder, but the tireless work of Mr. Luis Monzón, the Event’s Promoter, has made possible another edition of our Rally, which will be the second one in the IRC calendar and the first in the Spanish, in the Canary Islands Regional and in the Provincial of Las Palmas Championships. The effort of the whole Organizer Committee, to keep/for keeping in the highest level the most emblematic event of Canary Islands and one of the most important of Spain, has been laudable. Therefore, I would like to thank my team, without whom developing this event would have been almost impossible. From the Organizer Committee of the 36th Edition of the Rally Islas Canarias “El Corte Inglés”, we wish good luck to all the teams, an event without incidents and full-enjoy competition days for the fans in Gran Canaria’s roads. I can’t forget all the support that Institutions and Sponsors have given to this event, because without them achieving our goals would have been impossible for us. Thanks everybody Germán Morales Organizing Committee Chairman THIS RALLY GUIDE IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY AND CARRIES NO REGULATORY POWER 4 2.
