The Acropolis Rally is the last of the three European rough gravel events of the season. It's the first time the event is held in the summer since its return to the WRC calendar in 2021, in what is set to be the rally's last edition based in Lamia for the time being.
Rally Italia Sardegna returns to Olbia and also to a conventional itinerary format, ditching the "sprint" version of the rally which was used last year. With the switch in base, the rally features some modified stages from 2023 and 2024, as well as 2 completely new ones never used before in the WRC.
The WRC travels to Portugal for the 5th round of the season. Rally Portugal has seen some changes to its route, including two new stages on Friday, with the rally's opening day having 10 stages and 3 loops!
Iconic stages like Arganil, Amarante, Vieira do Minho, Cabaceiras de Basto and Fafe all feature in the event's route.
Rally Islas Canarias is the first full tarmac round of the 2025 season, and is a new addition to the WRC calendar. The event has been a staple of the European Rally Championship, and is the first WRC rally to be held in Spain since Rally Catalunya in 2022. It features fast and flowing tarmac roads, some of which haven't been used in the event in over a decade.
The Safari Rally is the first gravel round of the 2025 WRC season and is the first rally in more than 7 years to be over 380km, since Rally Monte-Carlo in 2018. There are significant changes in the route for the first time since 2022, with 2 brand new stages, and a new Shakedown, as well as tweaks on existing stages. This is more than likely going to be the longest event of the season.
The 2025 season opener is longer this year, with three stages on Thursday, while also offering a mix of brand new and returning stages.
