Event Statistics


Description search icon English Flag
Running from April 9 – 12 as the fourth round of the championship, the rally shifts its headquarters from Zagreb to the port city of Rijeka. The 2026 event is a true overhaul, with a route that trades traditional inland farmlands for the high-grip coastal roads and mountain passes of the Kvarner Gulf and Istria.
With the service park now based at the historic Grobnik Circuit, crews face a relentless 300km test across four counties, including the introduction of shakedown stages on the scenic island of Krk. From the ceremonial start in central Rijeka to the technical tests of the Lika-Senj highlands, the 2026 Croatia Rally brings a fresh Mediterranean flair to the WRC’s asphalt season.

Neuville had looked set to seal Hyundai’s first win of the season, carrying a lead of more than one minute into the final test. But the Belgian’s hopes were shattered when he struck a concrete block and damaged the front-right suspension of his i20 N Rally1, ending his charge just kilometres from the finish.
That left Katsuta and co-driver Aaron Johnston to claim a second successive FIA World Rally Championship win, backing up their breakthrough success at Safari Rally Kenya with another big result - this time on asphalt.
