He 59 RallyRACC – Catalunya Costa Daurada8th and penultimate qualifying test for Spanish Super Rally Championship (S-CER) and for another 12 championships or trophies, the October 18 and 19 with Salou and PortAventura World as the main nuclei of the race. The proof is organized by RACC and with the collaboration of Salou City Council and the Tourist Board of the Provincial Council of Tarragona, as well PortAventura World and the General Secretary of Sport of the Generalitat of Catalonia.
The structure of the competition, similar to last year, includes the celebration of the first passage through the urban section of Salou on Friday the 18th, with the majority of the rally taking place throughout the day on Saturday. In total, the 59 RallyRACC will comprise an itinerary of 556.66 km, of which 99.88 km will be speed events distributed over 8 special stages.
The two turns in the same four-section itinerary, without intermediate help, can pose a great challenge in case of problems during the race. In addition to a short 10′ service park stop at the start and end of the day, teams will only have 30′ to organize between both loops.
The timed races are known for their technical difficulty, in addition to the long length of the first two: La Pobla de Massaluca–Vilalba dels Arcs (23.28 km) and Horta-Bot (18.62 km)an important test where speed will undoubtedly prevail but where good driving management and, consequently, the resistance of mechanics and tires will play a very important role. To complete, Gandesa (6.49 km) will require maintaining or even improving the speed used up to that point.
A total of 88 teams will appear on the official entry list, most of them regulars in one of the 13 championships, trophies or cups for which 59 RallyRACCs have won. After a truly exciting and competitive campaign, the Spanish Super Rally Championship (S-CER) arrived in Catalonia with everything to be decided. It is possible that the Champion will not leave the RallyRACC, due to the equality of the three title candidates, but what seems clear is that whoever experiences trouble will be thrown out of the title fight.
The three contenders are all Asturian and breed for three different brands. The leaders of S-CER, Alejandro Cachón-Borja Rozada (Toyota GR Yaris Rally2)they must contain the attacks of the two teams that follow them in the classification: Diego Ruiloba-Ángel Luis Vela (Citroën C3 Rally2) and José Antonio Suárez-Alberto Iglesias (Skoda Fabia RS Rally2), current Champions of Spain. Other well-known pilots will undoubtedly try to take part in this great battle, such as former Junior World champions, Nil Solans-Marc Martí (Hyundai i20 N Rally2)or the winner of the 2023 RallyRACC, Pepe Lopez this year with David Vazquez and a Ford Fiesta R5 Mk2.
