Special Stages 12. Kärcher Rally Kumrovec are mostly the same as last year. There were no changes in the routes of Tests Desinić, Zagorska Sela and Kumrovec, but Tuhelj is a completely new Stage that will be driven for the first time. With the start in Kumrovec, at the position of the finish line of the WRC Croatia Rally Power Stage, through Kladnik and Velinac, the Special Stage leads to Prosenik.
The new asphalt on Zagorska Sela will help the crews for the time-attack, but renovated banks could pose a problem because of the amount of pebbles that will end up on the track after the rally cars pass through. The record time was set by Rok Turk – 7:26,4.
The Stage Zagorska Sela is circular again this year, driving a little more than a full circle. It is followed by Kumrovec, which, in a good part, just like Zagorska Sela, passes through the sections of the Croatia Rally Power Stage. Next to the track, on the elementary school playground the special Fan Zone will be set from where it will be possible to follow the competition, try the eno-gastronomic offer of Hrvatsko Zagorje, as well as the ride on the official simulator of the Rally Kumrovec – HeliDrive.
As always, the Start-Finish portal, is located in the Museum Staro Selo in the center of Kumrovec. Instructions for spectators, detailed schedule of Special Stages and maps can be found in the Spectators section.
