Barely the Rally With the Japanese Rally now over, the Acropolis Rally in Greece, at the end of June (25th to 28th), is already on everyone's mind. It will be the eighth round of the 2026 World Rally Championship and the "first of the others," kicking off a series of seven consecutive gravel events. The entry list for this event has just been released, revealing 58 crews entered, including Sébastien Ogier and Vincent Landais, which the Gapençais had exclusively confirmed to us at the end of the Rally of Japan.

A total of 12 Rally1 cars will be present, a record this season, since in addition to Dani Sordo – Candido Carrera at Hyundai and Martins Sesks – Renars Francis at M-SportJourdan Serderidis and Frédéric Miclotte will make their return in the Greek-Belgian driver's Ford Puma Rally1. The 62-year-old gentleman driver had not participated in a rally event for some time. WRC since Greece in 2025 precisely, although his mount was used by Grégoire Munster at Monte Carlo this year.
Acropolis Rally: Large field in WRC2, French drivers still well represented
Logically, WRC2 is also fully booked in Greece with a total of 30 competitors entered. The big guns of the 2026 season will be present, although the surprise comes from the absence of the new championship leaders Nikolay Gryazin – Konstantin Aleksandrov (Lancia Corse) from this list. They will therefore potentially leave the field to Yohan Rossel – Arnaud Dunand (Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale), Léo Rossel – Guillaume Mercoiret (Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale, although they are listed in the entry list in a Citroën C3 Rally2), or Roope Korhonen – Anssi Viinikka (Toyota GR Yaris Rally2) to reclaim their title. On the French side, we must also consider the presence of Mattéo Chatillon – Maxence Cornuau (Škoda Fabia RS Rally2), Pablo Sarrazin – Yannick Roche (Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale), and Adrien Mosca – Julie Amblard (Toyota GR Yaris Rally2). Also of note is the World Rally Championship debut of Conner Martell – Alex Gelsomino with the 2C Junior Team.
