Rally Argentina is nearing a potential return to the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) in 2027, according to sources close to the negotiations. The event, a longtime fan favorite, has been absent from the WRC calendar since 2019 due to logistical and financial challenges.
Organizers and local authorities are reportedly working closely with the FIA and WRC Promoter to finalize the details. The rally’s return would mark a significant moment for South American motorsport, which has lacked a WRC round since Argentina’s exit.
Rally Argentina first joined the WRC in 1980 and quickly became renowned for its challenging gravel stages and passionate fanbase. Its potential comeback aligns with the WRC’s efforts to diversify its global calendar and re-engage with key markets.
While no official confirmation has been made, insiders suggest an announcement could come later this year. The event would likely retain its traditional base in Villa Carlos Paz, a hub for rallying in the Córdoba region.
WRC teams and drivers have historically praised Rally Argentina for its unique terrain and enthusiastic crowds. A 2027 return would allow a new generation of competitors to experience its legendary challenges.
Further updates are expected as discussions progress between stakeholders.
