The much-anticipated 61st Greek National Gravel Rally Championship will kick off on April 5th and 6th with the 45th Olympic Rally, with Pyrgos city as the focal point.
A driver’s presentation, expected to draw a large crowd once again, will take place on the evening of April 5th at 21:00 at Pyrgos’s Central Square, Sakis Karayiorgas. The rally itself will start on April 6th at 08:00 from the Service Park exit at Xystri Theme Park, with the finish line back at the Central Square at 17:48.
The Olympic Rally consists of six special stages covering a total of 89.28 competitive kilometers. The morning stages on April 6th will introduce a new route, “Goumero-Klindia,” with a 16.75km stretch featuring 3.8 km on tarmac. The second loop includes the “Foloi” special stage, covering 13.01km and running in the opposite direction compared to recent years. After a 30-minute service, the race cars will tackle these stages again before heading back to Pyrgos for the day’s final service. The third loop in the late afternoon will revisit these stages, with the “Foloi” stage serving as the Power Stage.
