Rally di Roma Capitale
From the iconic Colosseum to the sweeping roads of Lazio, Europe’s most electrifying summer rally returns
Now in its 13th edition, Rally di Roma Capitale is set to light up the summer once again, running from July 4 to 6. Organized by Motorsport Italia, the event stands out as a key round of both the FIA European Rally Championship (ERC) and the Italian Rally Championship Sparco (CIAR), featuring a 900-kilometre route through the scenic roads of Lazio — blending speed, adrenaline, and sustainability.
The opening day on Friday, July 4, will kick off with the Qualifying Stage in Fumone, a spectacular stage renewed for the occasion. At 6:00 PM, the Roma Parade Start will take place at the Mouth of Truth. From 7:00 PM, the VIP Lounge will open on Via delle Terme di Tito, in the Colle Oppio area, followed by the start of the Special Stage Colosseo – ACI Roma (1.3 km) at 8:05 PM, right in the heart of the Capital. The grand finale will be held in Fiuggi: on Sunday, July 6, at 6:30 PM, Corso Nuova Italia will transform into a celebration of applause, awards, and festivities to crown the winners.
As part of the ERC calendar, Rally di Roma Capitale is the only event to feature special stages over 30 kilometers on both competitive days — a standout detail that reinforces the rally’s strong ties to Lazio’s rich landscapes and heritage. Saturday, July 5, kicks off with the Collepardo–Pozzo d’Antullo stage (6.47 km), followed by the debut of Torre di Cicerone — a nearly brand-new 34.57 km route that promises to challenge drivers and excite fans. The day wraps up with Santopadre (13.05 km), reworked with an earlier start and a thrilling final jump that’s sure to impress spectators.
On Sunday, the rally resumes with Guarcino–Altipiani (11.58 km), the only stage in Italy to feature a tyre warming zone at the start. It’s followed by the headline stage of the second leg, Canterano–Subiaco (30.59 km), which incorporates refreshed sections from last year’s Cave–Subiaco route. The rally concludes in style with Jenne–Monastero, which becomes the decisive Power Stage on its second pass — where final points and positions are often won or lost.
On the competitive front, the Rally2 category takes center stage, with top contenders driving Citroën C3 Rally2, Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 Evo, Toyota GR Yaris Rally2, and Hyundai i20 N Rally2 cars. Leading the entry list are Andrea Crugnola — twice a winner in Rome (2023 and 2024) — former WRC2 champion Mads Østberg, and 2024 victor Hayden Paddon. They will battle for a maximum haul of 30 points for the win, plus up to 5 additional Power Stage points, not to mention crucial exposure for teams and sponsors.
Emerging talents will also be in the spotlight thanks to the Lancia Trophy, a one-make series dedicated to the Lancia HF Rally4. The format includes special daily scoring and a final prize, providing a valuable platform for up-and-coming drivers to prove their potential in a highly competitive environment.
Action will also continue across the ERC3 (Rally3), ERC4 (Rally4/Rally5), and Junior ERC classes, featuring the best of Europe’s next generation. Among the young hopefuls set to compete on Peugeot 208 Rally4 machinery are Tommaso Sandrin, Victor Hansen, and Calle Carlberg — all ready to shine on the demanding tarmac roads of Lazio.
Sustainability is another cornerstone of the event. Rally di Roma Capitale is the only ERC rally to receive the prestigious three-star rating from the FIA for environmental excellence — recognizing its strong commitment to green practices including recycling, car-sharing, hybrid and electric vehicles, and CO₂ offsetting through reforestation projects.
Inclusion also plays a key role thanks to the collaboration with SS Lazio Wheelchair Basketball: in Fiuggi, demonstration sessions will be held to raise awareness and engage new audiences with the values of accessibility and participation. The event’s broader social impact is embodied by Max Rendina, rally director and driving force behind the event since 2013. His dedication led to the founding of the Italian Foundation for Sport, Culture and Disability, which aims to eliminate barriers and promote inclusive experiences within the rally environment.
And the next big milestone? Entry into the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) — potentially as early as 2026 or 2027. With Italy currently absent from the world championship calendar, Rome would mark a prestigious return to the international stage. In the meantime, the Eternal City is ready to welcome drivers, teams, and fans from across Europe for a weekend of speed, excitement, and shared values — with adrenaline and sustainability driving hand in hand.
