The stars of the steering wheel are about to parade again along the roads of the Island if both the promotor del World Rally Tour as the parties involved in the organization of the Canary Islands Rally They agree to sign a two-year contract, starting in 2025 and thus celebrate the half century of the event being part of the world calendar. The icing on a cake that already attracted Sainz, Kankkunen or Auriol
The icing on the cake that was missing Canary Islands Rally. On the eve of the celebration of the 48th edition, from May 2 to 4, the plans of the motorsport benchmark in the Archipelago wants to go up another gear and celebrate its half century with the dispute of the World Championship (WRC) on the roads of Gran Canaria.
The piche – asphalt – of the Island has an attraction that is not lost on the promoter of the World Rally Car, Simon Larkin. The head of the biggest automobile attraction next to Formula 1 does not frown upon bringing the event to the Island, a traditional enclave within the framework of the FIA – International Automobile Federation.
At the moment, in order to confirm that the WRC will arrive on the island, the payment of the fee required to install the world event in Gran Canaria remains to be finalized. A high cost and one that is attempted to be lowered by confirming a two-year contract in a row.
Of the advisor of the sports area of the Island Council dared to confirm in the Transgrancanaria broadcast last weekend that the World Rally Car was going to land on the Island, but the truth is that the signature still needs to be signed between the parties involved and make it official
All this after the Rally RACC Catalunya-Costa Daurada has left the world test circuit and therefore Spain does not have a test on the calendar. An idyllic opportunity for the Island.
In this way, the great motorsport stars could return to the Island just like the extinct Rally Corte Inglés did, which was capable of having a constellation in which Carlos Sainz imposed his dominance for five consecutive editions – from 1985 to 1989 -, Chus Puras will conquer Gran Canaria on three occasions – 1997, 1999 and 2000 – or other driving wizards will pass by such as the four-time world champion Juha Kankkunen – three editions with a second place for best performance or Didier Auriol – champion in 1994.
The Cantabrian Dani Sordo also had his time in the Canary Islands, who is now part of the Hyundai Canarias team in which they plan to rotate on the i20 N Rally2 along with Kris Meeke, Alexander Lukyanuk and Jan Cerný.
