The excitement begins from September 26th to 29th, as the WRC teams battle it out in Chile. Toyota will attempt to challenge Hyundai for the manufacturers’ title in this unique setting. Chile, a stunning country with over 6,000 km of Pacific coastline and distinctive biogeography, provides a dramatic backdrop for the rally. Starting with the shakedown at Campamento Conuco, the rally will feature 16 special stages covering 1,193.20 km of twisty gravel roads, making it one of the most challenging rallies of the season.
This event returns to the WRC calendar for the first time since 2019, and fans are eager to witness the drama unfold. Chile’s diverse terrain, marked by the Andes and the Atacama Desert, offers a unique challenge for both drivers and teams. It is known for its endemism, where flora and fauna species are found nowhere else in the world, adding to the mystique of the rally location.
