The new Special Stages and the changes to the coursefor the ADAC Rallye Deutschland were inspected and approved by the world motorsport authority FIA. This means that the sporting specifications of the German 2007WRC event are final. The 1,227km course includes 19 Special Stages totalling 356km.
The most important change affects the "Grafschaft Veldenz" Special Stage, which hasto be absolved as SS 2/6 in the first leg. A short distance from the start, a 5.5km exten-sion was integrated into the traditional course of this Special Stage bringing its totallength to 23km.
The toughest stage for the elite of international rallying and the participants in the German Rally Championship is the "Arena Panzerplatte" Special Stage: 30.55 challenging kilometres on the Baumholder tank range, where the tough get going and usually the chaff is winn owed.
This is the toughest test for pilots and cars alike –and very popular with rally fans thanks to its wide natural "arena" setting. During the 2nd leg on Saturday,this Special Stage is on the schedule twice. (SS 10/14). After each pass-through, it’s back to the Service Park, were fans can watch the nimble mechanics mend many dingsand defects – usually in record time.
The shortest stage on the itinerary (4.37km) is a new addition. It promises compressed and spectacular action. In "four-packs" at a time the WRC drivers will take on this city circuit in the heart of Trier. Certainly they will do justice to the name of this Super Spe-cial dubbed "Circus Maximus".
In proper style, the start/finish area uses a 1,800-year-old Roman gate, the famous Porta Nigra, as a backdrop. It is the emblem of the city with which the ADAC Rallye Deutschland has been identified for years. The circuit made up of wide passages between "Nordallee" and the central station and narrow sidestreets is a challenge for drivers and promises beautiful drifts.
This stage will open on Sunday at 11:11 hours. Those who do not enjoy the privilege ofliving around, yet do not want to miss out on the "Circus Maximus" ought to hurry! Ticket sales are in full swing.
Spectator room along this stage is available with the Gold and Silver Passes. More ticket information is available at www.rallye-deutschland.de
