A very technical debut stage for the World Rally Cup 2025.
The drivers will have to push their rally cars through a tricky section between the woods, outside of the Blackwood track.
Very easy to make mistakes and loose precious time by slamming into trackside objects, you'll have to bring a good balance between risk and safe approach!

- Each driver will be called for their timed run on connection list order during the first event
- 1 minute of gap between drivers calls.
- From the second event onwards, the drivers will be called in reverse order based on rally standings position
- In the following championship events, the drivers will always be called on reverse championship order
- Rally is a matter of precision: be careful to not HIT objects around the track to avoid TIME PENALTIES
- Bonus Races will feature a normal grid and traditional racing. Bonus race lenght depends on location, but will always be a short affair (Max 15 minutes)
- There won't be the need for a co-driver are there are plenty of road signals around the course.
