Rally Route
Organisers have introduced significant changes since the rally's last WRC appearance. The main service park switches to the new cruiser terminal at Olbia's Isola Bianca port, and the town's seafront hosts the start and finish. The opening day journeys midway down the island's west coast to sample new stages near Oristano, with a remote service at Siamanna.
The second leg covers more familiar territory in the Sassari region and includes the spectacular jumps in the Monte Lerno stage. The final day moves closer still to the rally base, using roads in the Olbia - Tempio province.
The final Power Stage, which offers bonus points to the fastest three drivers, uses former shakedown roads north of the town. Drivers tackle 18 stages covering 339.70km in a route of 1183.52km. More than 122km of the competitive distance is new to the WRC and only 135km was used in 2009.
