LOCAL TIME - SOURCE: WRC.COM - INFORMATION SUBJECT TO CHANGE “THIS IS ONE OF THE SEASON’S Arnaud Rémy WRC Programme Manager, MOST COMPLEX RALLIES“ Michelin Motorsport

“This is one of the season’s most complex rallies due to the combination of high temperatures and stony roads. Rally Turkey returned to the WRC calendar last year when we had to contend with a number of unknowns, including rocks as big as footballs on the stages! Our tyres suffered, but so did the cars. This time around, our technicians, the teams and the crews have a better understanding of what they face, notably with regard to tyre-wear rates and the conditions they can expect on the repeat loops.”
