The World Rally Championship will be held for the second time in Croatia.
A record number of spectators is expected at the FIA World Rally Championship in Croatia. The organisers estimate that there may be over 350,000 spectators in special fan zones and along the track, and they are expected to arrive from Europe and from overseas.
This year the WRC is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and the 2022 season was launched in Monte Carlo in January.
The Croatian government has recognised the importance and value of this competition, which is covered by over 250 television stations and followed by around 836 million people worldwide, and has co-funded the WRC with HRK 7.5 million (€1m). Thanks to this support and the hard-working organisers, Croatia has been included in the World Championship programme for the next two or three years, Tourism and Sports Minister Nikolina Brnjac said earlier this month.
