Jordan has finally defined the special stages for the 2008 rally

The organizers of the Jordan Rally, which will take place starting April 24, have announced today that they have planned all the stages for this historic first, as the country will be hosting a round of the World Rally Championship for the first time.

It is a true national effort, involving ministries, armed forces, and private companies, that made it possible to construct on time a course consisting of 22 special stages, the shakedown, and the brand-new Service Park or Parc d’assistance.

« I would like to thank all those who have dedicated themselves to preparing the rally with a commitment to offering high-quality services », said Prince Feisal al Hussein, President of the Jordanian federation.

« It is one of the most important events ever organized in Jordan, relying on all components of our society. We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but I am confident. Together, we will offer an event of global significance that all Jordanians, whether rally enthusiasts or not, will be able to enjoy. »

All the special stages are located within a 40-kilometer radius around the rally center, situated by the Dead Sea. Half of the rally will take place below sea level! The service park will be located on a specially carved-out site, in the heart of the mountains facing the Dead Sea.
