Stage Distance: 9.89 |

| This stage starts out in the woods, but breaks out into the open after the "vista". From here there are some long open straights leading to the woods over clay surfaces that ruts and may be slippery if wet. The stage changes at a left at T into a twisty descent down into the valley over a firm road surface with some loose shale. A tricky turn over a narrow wooden bridge occurs at the spectator area, followed by a second bridge shortly after and here the road turns to a firm new white stone surface. Next a temporary bridge will provide the competitor with a challenge to get up and over without leaving parts of their car behind! This part of the stage climbs slowly, with nice flowing curves tending to be fast, however competitors need to watch for the deep gutters and soft road edges, as these have claimed their victims over the years. | |
