WRC 2025

The WRC calendar 2025 is featuring all-new stops in Spain, Paraguay, and Saudi Arabia, highlighting a spectacular 14-round 2025 FIA World Rally Championship.

14 Tour Stops

Based in the city of Encarnación, near the Argentina border, the event promises a mix of smooth red-earth stages and trickier technical sections through dense vegetation. While the surface is mostly soft and fast, deep ruts and sudden surface changes are expected to keep drivers guessing across the weekend.

With a warm welcome and a fresh set of stages unknown to most of the field, Paraguay is a leap into the unknown – and the perfect stage for surprises.

About the Rally

Paraguay makes its long-awaited WRC debut in 2025 – and it’s ready to make a statement.
Based in the city of Encarnación, near the Argentina border, the event promises a mix of smooth red-earth stages and trickier technical sections through dense vegetation. While the surface is mostly soft and fast, deep ruts and sudden surface changes are expected to keep drivers guessing across the weekend.
With a warm welcome and a fresh set of stages unknown to most of the field, Paraguay is a leap into the unknown – and the perfect stage for surprises.
03

The Challenge

What makes Paraguay unique is the blend of high-speed stages with changeable grip and tight margins. The soft gravel surface can cut up quickly, especially on second passes, creating deep ruts and catching out anyone who misjudges braking or lines.
Visibility may also be a factor – fine dust hangs in the air in dry conditions, while rain showers could quickly flip the script. Add in unfamiliar pace and limited data for teams and engineers, and Rally del Paraguay becomes a true all-round test of adaptability.
Crews who learn fast and stay flexible will thrive. Those who push too early or underestimate the conditions? They’ll pay the price.
