The competition will start on 10th May at 13:00 in "Piena muiža - Berghof", Skrunda area, Sieksate region – from here competitors will leave to well-known Kalvene special stage. It will be followed with Marijas muiža and Podnieki special stages. Competitors will perform Kalvene and Marijas muiža stages three times, while Podnieki road will be performed twice.

Altogether crews will have to perform eight special stages with overall length up to 48,2 kilometers. Finish of the competition is planned at 17:15 in "Piena muiža - Berghof".

“Special stages included in the rally-sprint programme don’t require special explanations to the rally experts – Kalvene, as well as Marijas muiža and Podnieki are well-known with difficult series of turns and are exacting for the correct choice of the trajectory. These special stages provide incomparable driving enjoyment to the experienced competitors, whereas young competitors can have great rally training, offering almost all possible rally driving elements,” says director of rally-sprint “Kalnamuiža 2014” Aigars Bite.

New crews are applying for the competition every day and till now several very fast competitors have confirmed their participation, which means that the struggle for the victory is going to be very tense.

This year the competition is going to be special, because rally-sprint “Kalnamuiža 2014” is the 3rd event of Latvian rally-sprint championship, as well as the 1st event of Lithuanian rally-sprint championship. This rally-sprint will also be a great chance for the competitors to do training before the Champion’s rally in Talsi, taking place one week later, on 17th and 18th of May.

Rally-sprint “Kalnamuiža 2014” is organized by association “B&K Rallijs” in cooperation with association “Liepājas Rallija Komanda”. Organizers of the competition express gratitude to Aizpute, Skrunda and Vaiņode regions, in whose territory rally-sprint stages will take place.
