After a well-deserved summer break for the actors of WRC, the World Rally Championship resumes its rights this weekend with an emblematic meeting of the calendar: the Rally of the Acropolis, in Greece! The tenth round of the 2024 season, the Greek round is a must-see, one of the events present during the original season in 1973. The Acropolis has always hosted the WRC since, with a few exceptions (2010 and then between 2013 and 2020). The 2024 route, 303,23 kilometers long, will be divided into 15 special stages.
The three manufacturers involved (Toyota, Hyundai et M-Sport Ford) will each arrive in Greece with three official Rally1s. If the third Toyota will unsurprisingly be entrusted to Sébastien Ogier and Vincent Landais in the quest for the world title, Hyundai will put its trust in Dani Sordo and Cándido Carrera. Jourdan Serderidis will contest his home rally, alongside Frédéric Miclotte. The regular drivers competing throughout the season will fill the six seats available in the Rally1 category.
29 cars will make up the WRC2 category, including the return of Yohan Rossel in the No. 3 Citroën C21 of DG Compétition. Oliver Solberg, currently leading the championship, will skip this edition of the Acropolis Rally. Remember that each driver chooses seven rallies in advance on which he will be able to score points in the championship. The total entry list will include 72 crews, which confirms the good form of one of the emblematic rounds of the World Rally Championship.
