WRC Rally Islas Canarias 2026 - Rally of Spain

Rally Islas Canarias will launch its milestone 50th edition in dramatic fashion after confirming that its opening super special stage will move to Gran Canaria Stadium in Las Palmas.

The 50th edition of Rally Islas Canarias will feature an 18-stage, 322.21km asphalt route when the FIA World Rally Championship returns to Gran Canaria later this season.

It may have come in bittersweet circumstances, but Hayden Paddon’s return to the FIA World Rally Championship podium after eight years marked a full-circle moment for the New Zealander.

Thierry Neuville says he will “keep fighting” and “come back stronger” after a dramatic final-stage mistake cost the reigning world champion victory at Croatia Rally.

Hyundai Motorsport sporting director Andrew Wheatley says the team’s response to Thierry Neuville’s late Croatia Rally heartbreak could shape the course of its season.
