1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 WELCOME NOTE I am very excited for the opportunity to keep working with my team, invite the fastest rally drivers of Europe to visit Latvia and add to the long rally tradition of the beautiful city of Liepāja. This year, we have made another step forward in making the rally more challenging for the competitors while keeping it enjoyable for spectators. A very large challenge for this year will be done together with the city of Liepāja we are planning to finish the rally with a city stage taking place on the streets of Liepāja. This is a very ambitious plan and there is still a lot of work to be done, but I am confident in the knowledge and abilities of RA EVENTS and, together with the city of Liepāja and their experience with hosting rallies in the past, we will make this idea a reality and have a fantastic event in Liepāja. The European Rally Championship has also been improved for the 2015 and will have a number of changes from the previous year in order to attract more drivers to the events. While I am not allowed to share any details, one thing is for sure potential competitors should closely follow the news in this regard so that they do not miss a fantastic opportunity! I would like to use this opportunity to thank the government of Latvia for their continuous support, which has helped to bring such an important event to Latvia in the last few years. Of course, a large thank you goes out to the Liepāja city council as well, for their willingness to help and host the fastest European rally drivers in their city for the third year in a row! We expect Rally Liepāja 2015 to be better than ever this winter is cool! Raimonds Strokšs, Director of Rally Liepāja 1.2 ITINERARY Rally Liepāja will consist of 12 Special Stages with a total stage distance of 205.73 km. The race weekend will begin on Friday, 6th of February, with the Qualifying Stage, start position selection for priority drivers and the ceremonial start of Rally Liepāja. Saturday, 7th of February, will have the first six Special Stages, after which the winners of Latvian Rally Championship 2nd event will be awarded in Liepāja.

1.4 WELCOME TO LIEPĀJA! Dear participants, supporters and guests, it is my pleasure to welcome you all to Liepāja a city with a long history in rally, a place that has hosted some fantastic battles and great triumphs over the years. Liepāja has a very close and special relationship with rallying, as it is the place where, 50 years ago, the first rally in Latvia was hosted. This year, Liepāja has the honour of hosting a European rally championship event for the third year and I believe that this is no coincidence, but rather a sign of trust from FIA and Eurosport Events. Trust that we value tremendously! The TV broadcasts have given us an opportunity to look at the city from a different angle having a look at the gilded cathedral dome from a birds-eye view, seeing thousands of fishermen on the canal ice from above or spectacular beach of Liepāja is a great sight to behold. Hosting a winter rally has become a tradition in Liepāja, and is something that is eagerly awaited by the local rally enthusiasts and fans from all around the country because of the opportunity to see the best European rally drivers racing on the Kurzeme region roads. As an experienced driver and the participant of many rallies, I can definitely say that the event is awaited by the competitors as well, because racing on snowy rural roads with tight corners and jumps like we have in Kurzeme is not possible in any other event in Europe. Liepāja is a breath taking and very varied place. I sincerely hope that this event will bring everyone a lot of thrills and surprises! Uldis Sesks, The Chairman of the Liepāja City Council 5
