Franck Barbaras, Director of PortAventura Business & Events and the PortAventura Convention Centre: “We’re delighted that this important race has once again been completed with absolute success”
Vila-seca/Salou, November 2011. The 47th RallyRACC Catalunya-COSTA DAURADA, Rally de España 2011 was the penultimate race in the FIA World Rally Championship. PortAventura and all its facilities have been crucial for holding the race: as on previous occasions, the large central car park at PortAventura held the Assistance Park for this important race, also significant because it adds points for the two most important support series, the PWRC (Production) and the SWRC (Super 2000), for which it has been, respectively, the penultimate and last race to gain points.
It should also be noted that the PortAventura Convention Centre was chosen as the venue for the teams and media from all over the world. The Harvard Room was the official site for the Spanish and international media; the Damascus Room hosted personnel involved in the race’s management, timing, security and safety. The race’s logistic warehouse was located in the impressive Alexandría room, while the Hotel Caribe provided accommodation for the members of the teams, drivers and organisation. This hotel, together with the Hotel PortAventura, also held the catering services on the days when the race was being held.
“The RallyRACC is decisive for world rankings, so that being able to host the teams at our facilities, as well as the fans of this sport, is of great satisfaction for the whole area of PortAventura Business & Events, which has strived to ensure that, at all levels, the event was a resounding success” pointed out Franck Barbaras, Director of PortAventura Business & Events and the PortAventura Convention Centre who also took the opportunity to congratulate the winner after an exciting finish: Sebastián Loeb (Citroën team).
