Driving Mallorca Update – Oris Rally Clasico Puerto Portals

 

By far the best motoring event in Mallorca in March is the Oris Rally Clasico Puerto Portals which is being held on Thursday 12th to Saturday 14th. Over 3 days the Rally arcs clockwise around the North of the island. This year there are over 100 entries which is an excellent achievement for the organisers.

 

 

On Thursday 12th the first car will leave the Puerto Portals start podium at 19:30 for the two very challenging night stages of Andratx – Capdella and Calvia – Coll sa Creu.

 

On Friday morning the first car leaves Puerto Portals at 08:30 for two repeat stages, Andratx – Estellencs and Coll d´Tords – Coll sa Creu. With good weather, the Andratx – Estellencs stage will be particularly spectacular along the coastal / mountainside road.

 

On Friday afternoon starting at 16:03, the Rally heads up the breathtaking sa Calobra, which is a visual and aural masterpiece with so many cars thundering up to the top. Then the Rally moves on to Puigmajor – Soller which will be interesting heading downhill.

 

Saturday morning starts at 08:30 with again two repeat stages. The first, Pollensa – Lluc, will be an incredible drive on the newly resurfaced road. That´s followed by Coves – Campanet with its legendary flying hump about two thirds through the stage.

 

In the afternoon the Rally wraps up with Maria de la Salut – Sineu followed by the varied and challenging Orient – Bunyola stage. Then it´s a blast back to Puerto Portals for the Gala Evening and prize giving.
