After an eight-year hiatus, Acropolis Rally returned to the WRC calendar in 2021. A highly demanding gravel road event, the rally pushes the crews both physically and mentally, presenting them with dusty, rocky and rough mountain roads and potentially scorching temperatures. First run as an event in 1951, the Acropolis Rally made its WRC debut in 1973 and has been contested as part of the championship on 40 occasions. Nicknamed ‘The Rally of the Gods’, the event will fittingly start beneath the historical location of the Parthenon temple in Athens, the nation’s capital. Acropolis Rally Greece contains all the ingredients for spectacular rallying, causing it to become a cult favourite amongst spectators over the past 41 years.
2023 Summary
Acropolis Rally proved to be another challenge for our crews, but Dani and Cándido finished in a fine third place. We were in contention for victory before Thierry and Martijn were forced to retire from the lead of the rally on Saturday.
