The Rallye Ciudad de Utiel is warming up its engines ahead of its anticipated debut in the S-CER (Spanish Rally Super Championship). The schedule of institutional events has begun with the presentation of the official poster, featuring the Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 of José Antonio Suárez / Alberto Iglesias, reigning champions, leaders of the competition, and winners at the end of last year of the S-CER & CERTT GT2i Champions Race.
The Rallye Ciudad de Utiel, the first gravel rally in the Valencian Community to join the flagship championship of the RFEDA (Royal Spanish Automobile Federation), represents the consolidation of a very ambitious project, made possible by the expertise of Escudería Negrete Racing and the strong support of the Valencian Regional Government.
The poster presentation, held at the Utiel Town Hall, was attended by Ricardo Gabaldón, the town’s mayor; José Vicente Medina, 2nd vice president of the RFEDA (Royal Spanish Automobile Federation); Nacho Aviñó, president of the FACV (Automobile Federation of the Valencian Community); and Joaquín Carrascosa, president of Escudería Negrete Racing.
Ricardo Gabaldón, Mayor of Utiel: “The town is very excited about the arrival of the Spanish Rally Super Championship. Preparations are being finalized to welcome all participants and visitors. The people of Utiel are looking forward to welcoming the drivers, mechanics and team managers, as well as all the citizens and enthusiasts who decide to come and enjoy the sporting spectacle. The Rallye Ciudad de Utiel represents an exceptional opportunity to showcase the town’s hospitality and the region’s potential as a national motorsport reference.”
Joaquín Carrascosa, President of Escudería Negrete Racing: “This poster is not just an image; it’s the first heartbeat of everything that’s to come. It represents the effort, enthusiasm and work of many people who have spent months dedicating time and passion so that Utiel can roar again with the sound of engines. The Rallye Ciudad de Utiel is not just a sporting event; it’s an event that brings together an entire town: enthusiasts, teams, volunteers, institutions and residents. We are all part of something much bigger, something that puts Utiel on the motorsport map and demonstrates what we are capable of when we work together, through the economic and media impact we will generate far beyond our territory.”
