Overview

Event Name: 2014 RallyRACC Catalunya – Costa Daurada

Date: October 24–26, 2014

Start/Finish Location: Salou, Spain

Total Distance: 1,302 km (373 km competitive)

Catalunya’s unique surface change mid-event forces teams to find the perfect setup for both gravel and asphalt stages.

Route

Gandesa: Fast, open gravel with loose surface.
La Mussara: Smooth, flowing tarmac switchbacks.
Escaladei: Narrow, twisty asphalt mountain roads.

The service crew’s overnight conversion of cars from gravel to tarmac setup is one of the rally’s most iconic traditions.
