ROUND 10 FIA WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP

9 - 12 September 2010

Rally Route

Organisers have made significant changes, including a totally new final leg.  While Sapporo Dome remains the location for the super special stage, the rally base and single service park have been moved to the nearby Tsukisamu Dome.  The rally begins with two passes over the Sapporo Dome test on Thursday and these are repeated at the end of each leg, with the stage used eight times in total.  The opening two legs journey south of Sapporo and close to Lake Shikotsuko for stages near the towns of Tomakomai, Chitose and Eniwa, which were all used in 2008.  The final day heads north-east of the city for two loops of three new stages near the towns of Sunagawa, Bibai and Naie, taking the route further north than in 2008.  Drivers tackle 26 stages covering 303.54km in a route of 1220.43km.
