Start of the Sainte-Baume Rallycircuit 2021

The sixty competitors present at the start will really get to the heart of the matter. Yesterday, they carried out reconnaissance of the special stages on the Paul Ricard circuit. This morning, the final technical and administrative checks were completed and some crews were able to participate in a shakedown. The first edition of this event will kick off early this Friday afternoon.

The modern cars will set off after the old vehicles and the exit from the parc ferme is scheduled for 13:26 p.m. before a first special at 15:17 p.m. This will climb the Col de l'Espigoulier starting from the Auriol side, that is to say in the opposite direction to what will be done on Saturday.

These 11,73 km, including a descent for strong hearts towards Gémenos, will establish an initial hierarchy. The 2^e chrono of the day is also a section in the opposite direction to what is usually done. Starting from Roquefort very close to Cassis, it will connect the Grand Caunet after an effort of 7,05 km. This ES des Bastides will leave at 15:42 p.m. The cars will then join the Paul Ricard circuit where the service park is located.
