SS2/5 Dhrontal 1 & 2 12.61km

In our opinion Dhrontal is one of the best spectator stages in the entire World Championship, and one of the classic Vineyard stages of Rallye Deutschland. The stage traverses the vineyards, and clings to the side of the valley taking in some real high-speed, narrow sections and a number of steep uphill hairpins along its length. From the top of the vine-yard at Spectator Area 1 (Galeria Dhron) there is an unparrelled view of the stage with the cars taking in a total of 7 hairpins in front of you!

The stage also takes in a flat-out section along the main road to Neumagen-Dhron, something which you don’t find very often on tarmac rallies in the modern WRC. For 2005 the stage is back to it’s original length, losing the controversial opening section used last year, so expect the car parks to be busy if you arrive late.

Spectator Area 5C - Keltingrab
A completely new viewing area last year and a chance to see the cars braking heavily on cold tyres after the flat-out opening section along the main Neumagen-Dhron road. Spectators are placed in an old vineyard where the stage turns very sharply right through a junction onto the narrower road. Access and car park as per Area 3B & 4C but continue as far down the main road as you are allowed before parking up.

Spectator Areas 4C – Leinenberg
Access from the parking area on the main Dhron-Papiermuhle road same as Area 3B, and this time a further walk brings you to a sharp left corner into a right hand junction. From memory it’s a bit slow but has a large enough area on the inside to house a lot of spectators. There are better places to watch on this stage though…

Spectator Area 3B – Dhrontal-Kehren
A good section at the bottom of the vine yard, which whilst lacking the full panoramic view of Area 1A at the top of the valley, does give a good view of a series of 6 hairpin bends as the cars climb up from the main road. The atmosphere here is normally good with a large crowd gathered on the banking surrounding the hairpins, and a commentary position, food stalls, toilets etc.

In 2003 there was a very long walk across the opposite valley to the stage, but last year spectators were allowed to park along the main Dhron to Papiermuhle road, which hopefully should also be the case this time, making for a much shorter walk again!

In the past a bit further along the main road there has been another spectator area which gave entry to a fast downhill section through the trees, before an open viewing area where spectators could see the drivers really attacking the fast K-Right bend which takes them onto the main road.
