It’s not often an entirely new rally concept joins the World Rally Championship calendar. This weekend’s Central European Rally is not only a championship first, but this voyage into the unknown could conceivably decide the title race.
WRC events have crossed country borders before but the Central European Rally, which hosts the penultimate round of the season, takes this principle to another level. Crews will contest challenging asphalt stages in the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany, incorporating three nations into one event for the first time in WRC history.
