Among the most notable additions is a return to the UK for the first time since the pandemic emergency. Scotland will host this British round from September 30 to October 3, 2027. Anticipation surrounds the championship’s return to the United States for the first time since the 1988 Rally Olympus. The US round is scheduled for August 26 to 29, preceding the Scottish event.
