The 82nd Rally Poland is not ticketed – admission is free
Time for Silesia!
After two decades on Warmia and Masuria gravel stages, the Rally Poland is moving to a completely new setting. This year, the competition will take place in southern Poland, and the routes will largely be based on proven and spectacular tarmac special stages known from the Rally Silesia.
Silesia is a region with a rich rallying heritage. It is the home region of Kajetan Kajetanowicz; it is also where Miko Marczyk took his first steps in rallying, and the current Polish Champion, Jakub Matulka, comes from Gliwice, the city located in the region.
The 82nd Rally Poland promises to be highly attractive. The event will simultaneously serve as a round of the FIA ERC (European Rally Championship), KIQ RSMP (KIQ Polish Rally Championship), Millers Oils HRSMP (Millers Oils Polish Historic Rally Championship), as well as a regional rally. These prestigious series guarantee a strong lineup and the highest level of sporting rivalry.
