Description

The 2019 Rally Italia Sardegna (also known as Rally Italia Sardegna 2019) was a motor racing event for rally cars that was held over four days between 13 and 16 June 2019. It marked the sixteenth running of Rally Italia Sardegna and was the eighth round of the 2019 World Rally Championship, World Rally Championship-2 and the newly-created WRC-2 Pro class. It was also the third round of the Junior World Rally Championship. The 2019 event was based in Alghero in Sardinia, and was contested over nineteen special stages with a total a competitive distance of 313.44 km (194.76 mi).

Dani Sordo finished first in Rally Italia Sardegna to take his second WRC career win. After the lows of Rally Portugal he hardly put a foot wrong on the gravel of Sardinia.
Teemu Suninen once again had a very strong rally to finish second with new co-driver Jarmo Lehtinen. Andreas Mikkelsen completed the podium after a clean sweep of stage wins on Sunday. Blitzing the Power Stage, he took his first 5 bonus points of the season in one hit.
Ott Tanak had the raw pace to dominate as expected. His drives from second and then first on the road on Friday set him up for a good opportunity on Saturday. However, failure of steering parts on the Power Stage run of Sassari-Argentiera slowed him massively and he dropped back to 5th position.
