The Rallye Sardinia (officially Rally d'Italia Sardegna ) is a rally that takes place in Italy on the island of Sardinia of the same name . It has been held as a competition for the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) since 2004 . In 2010 she was part of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC).
History and routing
The Sardinia Rally sparked the 2004 season, the San Remo Rally in the World Rally Championship as the Rally d'Italia , and has since also Rally Italy called. From 2004 to 2009 it was held annually as a World Championship run.
The rally is located on the northeast coast of Sardinia on the Costa Smeralda . The rally center is located in Olbia . The starting and finishing point was the coastal town of Porto Cervo on the Costa Smeralda until 2010 . In these rallies, special stages for spectators such as the 2008 Liscia Ruja (2.69 km, within sight of the luxury hotel Cala di Volpe *****) took place on the coast. That gave this rally an additional charm. In 2010 the Rally Sardinia was not part of the World Rally Championship, but instead part of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge .
In 2011 the Rally Sardinia was re-included in the calendar of the World Rally Championship. The location of the first day of this rally changed to the province of Oristano on the west coast of Sardinia. A “service park branch” (remote service) was set up there in Siamanna , around which the special stages of the first day were held. The start and the paddock were in the port city of Olbia on the east coast of the second largest Mediterranean island. During the three-day event, the special stages of the second day were also held around Monti, Alà dei Sardi , Buddusò . The special stages of the third day took place north of Olbia and the final Power Stage , which is about bonus points for the three fastest drivers in this stage, was held in Gallura .
The Rally Sardinia is a gravel rally that takes place on sandy forest paths and narrow gravel mountain roads in the mountainous hinterland of the Gallura region . The character of the route changes from special stage to special stage from loose sandy gravel on the forest paths with slight curves to rough, gravelly mountain roads with many jump passages and fords. Held as a world championship run, the total length of all special stages averages just under 350 kilometers. The 2010 IRC run, on the other hand, only had a total length of 218.7 kilometers for all special stages.
