Andalucia Rally
Postponed
T
he Andalucia Rally (Spain), the third round of
the FIA-FIM Rally-Raid Championship, which
was postponed due to a severe drought in the
region, has been rescheduled for October 18-23.
As a result, the Rallye du Maroc has been moved
forward a week to October 1-6 to allow teams a
little extra time to prepare for the Andalucia Rally.
The FIA, the FIM and the W2RC promoter
ASO said they are aware of the challenges
brought about by the situation for the competing
teams and the consequences in their preparation
and organization. "The change of dates means a
very intensive end to the season, but it promises
to be a hugely exciting finale to the champion-
ship," read a release from the FIA.

Near back-to-back races in
October means the final two
rounds of the FIA-FIM Rally-Raid
Championship will be a busy time
for the teams and racers.
