WRC Rally Islas Canarias - Rally of Spain 2026

Oliver Solberg set the pace in the Rally Islas Canarias shakedown on Thursday morning, edging championship leader Takamoto Katsuta in a tightly contested session on the island’s smooth asphalt roads.

Takamoto Katsuta’s emergence as FIA World Rally Championship leader will be put firmly to the test this week as Rally Islas Canarias hosts round five of the 2026 season.

After coming closest yet to a maiden FIA World Rally Championship win in Croatia, Sami Pajari believes the asphalt roads of Rally Islas Canarias could suit him even better.

Dani Sordo has his sights firmly set on a podium - or even victory - as the popular Spaniard returns to top-flight FIA World Rally Championship action on home soil at Rally Islas Canarias this week.

Dani Sordo’s long-awaited return to Rally1 machinery is set to provide the headline act at Rally Islas Canarias next month after the Spaniard was named on the official entry list for round five.
