The EKO Acropolis Rally in Greece offers more than just a race; it’s a battle against history, culture, and the gods of speed. Set in the cradle of Western civilization, this rally merges the rich history of Greece—known for its ancient philosophy, democracy, and the Olympic Games—with the modern thrill of WRC racing. Greece’s Mediterranean climate and diverse terrain provide the perfect backdrop for rally drivers to push their limits.
The upcoming rally is crucial for WRC teams as the season nears its end. Sébastien Ogier, with 141 points, is trailing Thierry Neuville by 27 points. The pressure on Neuville to maintain his lead will be intense, especially with the strategic genius of Ogier and the determination of Ott Tänak, who sits in third place with 137 points. After a tough exit in Finland, Tänak is looking to bounce back and help Hyundai secure the top two positions.
