Andbank and Hilton Diagonal Mar Barcelona
 Official Sponsors of Rally Catalunya Històric

Barcelona, 3 January 2018.– The Rally Catalunya Històric “Trofeu Dues Catalunyes” is taking shape for its second edition, to be staged on 2 and 3 March 2018.

RACC MotorSport has reached an agreement with its Official Sponsors: Group Andbank and Hilton Diagonal Mar Barcelona, that will add their efforts to an event that is planned to become the best race for classic vehicles.

A linear event, like it used to be

The 2nd Rally Catalunya Històric “Trofeu Dues Catalunyes” will be, like its first edition, a linear regularity race for classic cars, on closed roads, average speeds of up to 55 km/h, with two average speeds to choose from and all the innovations of its first edition that set trends in strictly regularity rallies. All of this surrounded by comfort services that turn it into a truly Premium event.
The event, with a route of approx. 650 km, will be staged on two days, with start (2 March, 15.00h, Avinguda de la Catedral) and finish (3 March, 20.30h, Hilton Diagonal Mar Barcelona) in Barcelona. The initial stage, a large part of which will be run at night, will have around 250 km. The 2nd stage, run completely in daylight, will take participants to France, with a stop for lunch, to return to Barcelona from the neighbouring country after around 400 km. It is thus a linear configuration reminding the rallies from many years ago, like the “Rally Dues Catalunyes”, which it wants to recall, an event that was held six times in the 1960s, always organised by the RACC.

The 2nd Rally Catalunya Històric “Trofeu Dues Catalunyes” will admit the participation of vehicles built between 1947 and 1984, grouped in 6 classes. Cars built in 1985 and 1986 will be able to take part as well, following the criteria of the organiser, but will only be able to opt for the class trophy and not the final classification.

The entry fees (1,300€ and 1,150€ for RACC members) include Premium type features, all-included: entry fees, welcome buffet before the start, dinner and overnight hotel accommodation in a double room (breakfast included) for driver and co-driver on the first day; half-way lunch during the second stage for both; closure dinner with prize-giving and hotel accommodation at the Hilton Diagonal Mar Barcelona, in a double room (breakfast included) for driver and co-driver on the second day; luggage transport during the rally; Blunik timekeeping; GPS follow-up; sending of stage-by-stage results to mobile devices; exclusive presents, metal plate of the event and “finisher” memento for both crew members. The entry period opens on Monday, 8 January and closes on Tuesday, 13 February.

The podium of the 1^st Rally Catalunya Històric “Trofeu Dues Catalunyes” (2017) was shared by Carles Miró-Ivan Matavacas (Porsche 911 SC), Manel Roura-Antoni Moragas (Fiat 131 Abarth) and Joan Rollán-Álvaro Rollán (Porsche 911 T 2.2). Just like in the first edition, this second edition will count on the collaboration of Caves Mestres, Blunik Precision Chrono, BRM Cronographes, Ajuntament de Barcelona, AutoSport Hebdo, Sport and  Vallespir Retro Courses.
