The WRC is conducting a trial of a new shorter format at the Italian Island gravel rally, which it hopes could offer event organisers more flexibility and help improve the championship's promotion. A move to vary event formats, to include endurance and sprint rallies from next season, is a key part of the WRC and the FIA’s future vision for top-level rallying.
This weekend crews will contest a 16-stage rally covering 54 kilometres less than last year’s Rally Sardinia, which will be completed within a 48-hour window.
