Rome completes key milestone in pursuit of 2027 WRC round

Rome's ambition to host a World Rally Championship round in 2027 has taken a significant step forward with the successful completion of a candidate event. This move aims to replace the long-standing rally in Sardinia, which has been the Italian leg of the WRC for years. The switch to asphalt-based Rally di Roma Capitale is expected to bring new dynamics to the championship, potentially attracting different strategies and styles from teams. This shift is crucial for keeping the WRC fresh and engaging for both participants and fans.
