A sojourn in Spain and mental in Mexico
Our rally correspondent goes off-limits this week with a visit to former Spanish GP venue Montjuich Park and talks to Kris Meeke about his Baja 1000 motorcycle adventure
After too many years of not making it to the Park, this time I made it.
As you know, this year's Rally of Spain included a start from outside the Cathedral in the centre of Barcelona and, more importantly, the pre-event press conference. When I heard that, I knew I absolutely had to make the trip up the road from Salou. And I knew I had to make it count this time.
World Rally Championship events make no allowance for sightseeing, but this was going to be different. I set out a little earlier than necessary and made my way to a place I've been meaning to visit since 1992. And a place that had massive meaning to you and me since 1975.
