“The RallyRACC Catalunya is the world championship’s only mixed gravel/asphalt round. As a result, it is a little more complex for us in terms of logistics since we take more than 2,000 tyres, with five different types available for our WRC partners. In fact, the drivers have a bigger choice for Catalonia than they do for the Monte Carlo! This year’s longest dirt stage is La Fatarella-Vilalba which has been extended by 12 kilometres to 38.85km . It is being run in the opposite direction to 2017, but there is still the long asphalt portion in the middle which can see big gaps develop. Sébastien Loeb is back for this event which he has won eight times. As if the weekend wasn’t going to be interesting enough, his presence will obviously add to the excitement!”
