A Tough WRC Challenge

Originally held in Sanremo, Italy's WRC round moved to Sardinia in 2004. Fast, narrow stages lined with trees and rocks leave little room for error. Sandy surfaces give way to rough, rutted roads on the second pass, adding to the difficulty. Temperatures often exceed 30°C, increasing stress on both drivers and their cars. Sébastien Loeb and Sébastien Ogier share the record with four wins each since the rally's relocation to Sardinia.
