El Condor - Copina, 16.32km. One of the most famous roads in the WRC. Located in the Traslasierra mountains, it boasts stunning views in good weather, but fog and rain transform it into hell. At the start it winds around massive rocks, on which huge crowds perch roadside, before descending on a rough, rock-strewn road across famous iron bridges which hang from canyons. It is smoother near the end and drops 746 metres from start to finish.

Paddon Hayden
- Kennard John

"A terrible stage. Conditions are absolutely incredible and the engine stalled a couple of times when we were braking for hairpins. Once it took me five seconds to restart. It's something we'll have to work around."

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"Really tricky. Bad visibility and so many rocks on the road. This is not a stage where you want to push. I'm happy just to get through."

Mikkelsen Andreas
- Jæger Anders

- Fløene Ola

"We were off the road. A little misunderstanding in the car. It's very difficult in the fog. There was a corner that I wasn't expecting. Spectators quickly got us back underway."

Neuville Thierry
- Gilsoul N.

"The cloud is going up and down all the time so each driver gets different conditions."
