Croatia Rally 2027: WRC asphalt round based in Rijeka

Croatia Rally 2027 dates and base

Croatia Rally 2027 runs from 8 to 11 April 2027 and is the fourth round of the WRC 2027 calendar. The 2026 edition ran from 9 to 12 April, so the weekend is almost identical. Rijeka is the rally base, and the date is confirmed. The itinerary has not been published.

It is preceded by Safari Rally Kenya and followed by Rally Islas Canarias. See the whole run on our WRC 2027 calendar page.

The Croatia Rally asphalt challenge

This is an asphalt rally, which means grip is high and speeds are fast. Asphalt rallies reward precision, because the road is narrow, the corners are tight and mistakes are punished by walls, ditches or trees. Changes in road condition, such as dust or damp patches, add variety, and early cars on a stage often have to deal with a dirtier or damper line than those behind them.
