RALLYE DEUTSCHLAND Schedule

Rally Route

The route has undergone major changes from 2006. 

The single service park moves back to Trier's Messepark, last used in 2002.  Associated with this is a super special stage midway through Sunday's final leg based around the city's historic Porta Nigra, a UNESCO World Heritage site.  Four cars will race around the course at the same time, starting at 15-second intervals.  This stage will replace the traditional street test in St Wendel. 

There is also a greater emphasis on the vineyard stages alongside the Mosel river with the first and last legs based there.  As a result there are fewer public road tests in the Saarland region. 

After a ceremonial start at Porta Nigra on Thursday night and Friday's opening day in the Mosel, Saturday's leg is the longest of all.  It is split between tests in Saarland and Baumholder, covering 164.86km with two remote service zones in Konken.  Drivers tackle 19 stages in total, of which only the super special is used once, covering 356.27km in a route of 1227.04km.
