Five tenths of a second after more than 500 kilometers of regularity, 1000 kilometers of route and 20 stages. This is how tight the outcome of the XX Rally Costa Brava Hist\u00f2ric by Motul has been, a rally which ended on Sunday after three intense legs along the roads that have made this event legendary.<\/span><\/p>\n The Rally Costa Brava Hist\u00f2ric by Motul has celebrated an anniversary edition that will be remembered for the record entry list since it is held based in the fishing village of Palam\u00f3s, with 132 teams registered. Also due to a female participation that has broken records, with 12 female drivers and 36 female co-drivers (more than 25% of the total co-drivers). And of course, for the unparalleled atmosphere that has been experienced at each leg\u2019s start, with the teams receiving the applause of the large audience, one of the benchmarks of the event.<\/span><\/p>\n The fans have once again responded massively in the different activities that accompany this rally, specially the parade through the streets of Palam\u00f3s, held before the start of the decisive Saturday’s leg.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The classic and historic cars participating in the rally have been the main protagonists. Vehicles that have helped to build motorsport\u2019s history such as BMW 2002 Ti, Renault 5 Turbo 2, Lotus Elan, Alfa Romeo GTV6, Apal Coupe, Volvo Amazon or Lancia Fulvia, among many more.<\/span><\/p>\n The #MotorDona program has once again been another of the main focuses of this edition, consolidating the female presence in this event. Among the participants, it is important to highlight the presence of four Spanish champions in different motorsports disciplines (Ares Lahoz, Lorena Romero, Laura Pedrosa and Raquel Cecilia), as well as teams with proven experience in historic regularity, such as the aforementioned Tere Armadans and Anna Vives (Porsche 911 SC), fourth overall.<\/span><\/p>\n Yves Deflandre \/ Patrick Lienne (Porsche 911) have once again demonstrated their potential and have taken victory in the rally, their second consecutive triumph in this event, which in the case of Deflandre represents his fourth victory in the twenty years of history of the rally. With their victory they also achieved the FIA Trophy for Historic Regularity Rallies for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n Their victory was not decided until the last of the twenty regularity stages, in a scenario almost identical to that of the 2022 edition. Thus, it was not until the last night section of the rally that they placed themselves with options for victory, to take the lead just two stages from the end. Only five tenths of a second separated them from the second team, Juan Pedro Garc\u00eda \/ Sergi Giralt (Autobianchi A112 Abarth). The Catalan duo has enjoyed a great rally, leading for most part of the event, and they repeat the second place they achieved in 2021. David Garrigolas \/ S\u00edlvia March (VW Golf GTI) complete the podium, in their best result so far in the Rally Costa Brava Hist\u00f2ric by Motul.<\/span><\/p>\n In the category reserved for classic motorcycles, Carles Fortuny \/ Carles Jim\u00e9nez (Yamaha XT600) have once again imposed their hegemony, revalidating last year’s victory, scoring two section victories and achieving an extraordinary sixth overall position in the rally.<\/span><\/p>\n 12 different winners in 20 sections demonstrate once again the high level of competitiveness and precision that this event requires to be in the top positions.<\/span><\/p>\n After a sporting and popular success of the event, the organization of Club RallyClassics will begin working very soon on the 2024 edition, which will be held at the end of October.<\/span><\/p>\n The XX Rally Costa Brava Hist\u00f2ric by Motul has been possible thanks to the collaboration of Ajuntament de Palam\u00f3s, Secretaria General de l\u2019Esport i de l\u2019Activitat F\u00edsica de la Generalitat de Catalunya, Diputaci\u00f3 de Girona, Patronat de Turisme Costa Brava Girona, FIA, FECOTUR, Motul, Hotel Trias, Vilaju\u00efga, 9 moments, Blunik, Garatge Internacional, Montju\u00efc Watches, Ca L\u2019Enric, Suprametal, MiRally, L\u2019Esportiu, \u00c0gora, News Classic Racing and Integral Apps.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n More information about the XX Rally Costa Brava Hist\u00f2ric by Motul on the RallyClassics website:<\/b> https:\/\/www.rallyclassics.club\/en\/xx-rally-costa-brava-historic-2023\/<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rallyclassics.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/xx_rally_costa_brava_historic_by_motul-316-1024x682.jpg\")
