Rally Ivory Coast

The Ivory Coast Rally or Rallye Côte d'Ivoire (originally Rallye Bandama , later Rallye Bandama Côte d'Ivoire or Rallye Côte d'Ivoire Bandama ) was a round of the World Rally Championship held in Ivory Coast . From 1978 to 1981 it was part of the manufacturers' and drivers' championship, in 1977 and from 1982 to 1992 it was only part of the drivers' world championship.

Like other rallies on the African continent, the Ivory Coast Rally was known for the high failure rate among the participants and the great physical exertion that it required of the drivers.
