Rally Guanajuato Mexico
“As the first gravel round of the season, Rally
Mexico is always eagerly awaited by the teams and
drivers. It frequently serves as
a marker for the first part of
the season and gives an idea of
the respective strengths of the
different contenders. Tyre wear
is rarely an issue but the second passes can be quite
complex if the weather is hot. Friday’s El Chocolate
stage promises to be a big challenge once again.
It exceeds 30 kilometres in length, climbs to an
altitude of more than 2,650 metres and features
all the different types of roads and
conditions competitors come across in Mexico.”

RALLY MEXICO TRIVIA
Rally Mexico has been the WRC’s opening gravel round since 2004
Rally Mexico’s stages take place at the highest altitudes visited by the WRC (average: more than
2,000 metres)
Rally Mexico’s stages are wide, with a good rhythm, but the phenomenon of ‘road sweeping’
is significant
Citroën has won eight of the 15 Rally Mexicos to have counted towards the WRC
Rally Mexico was first organised in 1979 when it was known as Rally America
This is the 16th Rally Mexico to count towards the WRC. The 2009 event was not a WRC round
