WALES RALLY GB 2011

SS22 Crychan, Sebastien Ogier & Julien Ingrassia Elena Citroen Total DS3 WRC.

 

The stage has been reversed from 2010 and now has two distinct sections. Firstly it starts in Crychan forest with its dense network of roads making the stage very twisty in places, passing through a large number of junctions. After emerging from the forest the route then travels over a 9km section of tarmac with tricky junctions and crests including the ideal spectator viewing hairpin at Dixies, where cars can be easily seen approaching and departing from the junction.

•V5 Is a raised viewing area as the competitors climb uphill from a twisty section and then take a tight square right junction. From here you can then either continue to walk on a cleared path through the trees for some 800m to V6 or return to the car park road from which you can walk down a gravel path to V7.

•V6 Comprises of a spectacular series of bends, including an uphill hairpin, which offer some of the best viewing in Crychan.

•V7 Over the past years this viewing point has proved to be one of the most popular within the forest: It stretches for almost 1km on a raised gravel surface bank looking down on a series of sweeping bends leading the cars to V6
