Sibiu Rally 2013 - 228 kilometers, 14 special stages

With a month and a half before the start of the 2013 edition of the Sibiu Rally, the seventh stage of the European Rally Championship, the organizers revealed the official track where a lot of top drivers will be competing. The Sibiu Rally, the most important auto event in Romania, will have 14 special stages of which 8 are distinct, with a total length of 228 kilometers.

In 2013 the Sibiu Rally Romania will have a similar course as the one from last year, which was part of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge. One of the differences is the growth of the tarmac percentage to approximately 20% of the total length of the track. More than that, there will be a special stage which will be on 100% tarmac. The rest of the special stages will be the same as last year, only a couple more of them will have some parts of complete tarmac.

Because the super special stage attracts a lot of audience, the organizers decided that it will be covered twice by the drivers. The length of the super stage is of 3.8 kilometers. The Gatu Berbecului special stage has a length of 32 kilometers, being longer than last year. The organizers mentioned that they have done a lot of efforts in order to raise the quality level of the track, this being one of the requirements received from Eurosport, the promoter of the European Rally Championship.

The official opening for the Sibiu Rally will be on the 22nd of July but the actual racing will be done between the 25th of July and the 27th of July. 

Those interested in participating can register between the 7th of June and the 13th of July.
