Thursday

Thursday is the opening day of the rally, only featuring the pre-event Shakedown stage, which is brand new for this year.

Shakedown: San José de Palco - 5.76km

Changes compared to past editions: Brand new stage, never used before in a rally.

Stage description: Rally Chile has a brand new shakedown this year. The scenery is different compared to the stages used in the rally, with the stage itself looking more like something from Rally Mexico or the Acropolis Rally. It is twisty and technical, first climbing uphill for the first 2.3km, before then starting going downhill. The end of the test is very twisty and sinuous. 

Friday

The first day of competitive action features three repeated stages, either side of a service in Concepción. All three stages are in the same are as last year's Friday stages, but are run in the opposite direction, with some new sections. 

SS1/4 Turquía - 22.94km

Changes compared to past editions: Essentially last year's San Rosendo stage in reverse with two new roads compared to last year.
