RallyRACC Catalunya Preview .....

Petrolheads
On the first weekend of October the Subaru World Rally Team will travel to Spain with three works entries as the World Rally Championship returns to tarmac. RallyRACC Catalunya Costa Daurada is the penultimate tarmac event of the year and the first half of a back-to-back asphalt double-header, on which SWRT will be running a trio of Impreza WRC2008s for the first time.

Rally Catalunya is often said to be the closest the WRC gets to a circuit race, owing to its smooth and flowing asphalt surface. Most of the rally route has been resurfaced over the years making the roads clean and grippy, in contrast to the dirty asphalt of the last sealed surface event in Germany in mid-August…

thank god some tarmac to get the heart beating again, anyone get sick of watching the loose surface legs?
 
watched the preview on eurosport the other night,Subaru segment,basically said that they're not focusing on tarmac rallies at all,as there are only two next year,ireland & corsica i think.

Hard to see past loeb but duval in the works ford (for the two tarmac events)should go well,assuming he can keep it out of the ditch!
 
After day 1, Loeb leading by 15.8 seconds from sordo, Duval 3rd, Boland 20th, Gallagher 29th, Meeke 33th
