Rally Route
The rally follows a similar format to 2005, visiting the three valleys of Cordoba province, each offering stages of differing character and landscape. However, the rally base has moved from the Pro-Racing motorsport complex near Villa Carlos Paz to Córdoba's Feriar exhibition halls. The Pro-Racing super special has been switched to Córdoba's soccer stadium, opposite Feriar, which will open the action on Thursday evening and bring it to a close on Sunday lunchtime. The first full day is the longest, covering 159.73km in the Punilla Valley, north of Carlos Paz. It includes two tests unused since 2003 and two more used in the opposite direction to 2005.
The second day is a mix of the same tests and faster roads in the Calamuchita valley to the south.
The final leg covers just 41.30km and initially heads south-west to the Traslasierra mountains for the rocky El Condor and Giulio Césare stages, two of the most famous and toughest in the championship, which peak at 2195 metres. Drivers face 22 stages covering 351.44km in a route of 1474.82km.
