One more season the Baja Lorca - Ciudad del Sol returns to close the month of May in terms of sports in the city of Lorca. In this eleventh edition, which has been presented today in the Plaza de Calderón de la Barca, in front of the Teatro Guerra, we have been able to know the news for this season by the hand of Jorge Gonzalez.
The event was attended by Mr. Juan Francisco Martínez, Director General of the Institute of Tourism of the Region of Murcia; Mr. Juan Miguel Bayonas, Councillor for Sports of the City of Lorca; Mayte Martínez, mayor of Commerce and Hospitality; Antonio David Sánchez, mayor of Young Talent; Mª Huertas García, mayor of Festivities; the president of the Royal Spanish Automobile Federation, Mr. Manuel Aviñó; the president of the Automobile Club of Lorca, Mr. Sebastián Plazas; and the president of the Automobile Club of Lorca, Mr. José Mulero.
Juan MIguel Bayonas, mayor of Sports commented that “for the eleventh edition, all of them impeccable, the Automobile Club of Lorca will fill the city of vehicles and a spectacular racing atmosphere, with the Avenida Juan Carlos I full of people both Friday and Saturday, combining sport and tourism. In addition many fans will go to our districts, where the test is disputed, which will also fill these populations”.
Once again we had the presence of Juan Francisco Martínez, Director of the Institute of Tourism of the Region of Murcia who began “congratulating Manuel Aviñó, Sebastián Plazas and José Mulero as they have not only managed to consolidate the Rallye Tierras Altas, but also have achieved the same with the Baja Lorca - Ciudad del Sol, getting teams, with their families, come to enjoy the city of Lorca getting thanks to this first class event, that all accommodation in the region are full.”
“The Spanish Off-Road Rally Championship only has six appointments during the year, and the Region of Murcia, and especially Lorca, has the honor of being one of them. The economic impact on the region will exceed one million euros, and also the entry list with more than seventy vehicles, with the best national teams. I would also like to appeal to the Lorquina fans to collaborate in the safety of the event. I would also like to thank Sebastián Plazas because together with the Lorca Automobile Club, they make this event possible,” commented Manuel Aviñó, President of the Royal Spanish Automobile Federation.
After this ceremony, the Automobile Club of Lorca invites everyone to the different events that will take place next week with the celebration of the scrutineering from early Friday morning at the Huerto de la Rueda Fairgrounds, the prologue stage from 16:20 hours in the vicinity of Torrealvilla; and the starting ceremony at the Avenida Juan Carlos I. On Saturday from 8:30 am we will have the teams disputing the two super special stages planned that will go all over the Highlands of Lorca, finishing the test in the Avenida Juan Carlos I with the spectacular trophy ceremony.
