2011 Acropolis Rally (Greece) — WRC Rd.7

Overview

Event Name: 2011 Acropolis Rally

Date: June 16–19, 2011

Start/Finish Location: Loutraki, Greece

Total Distance: 1,193.52 km overall (348.80 km of special stages)

Participating Teams: 33 starters, 28 finishers

Greece’s return to the WRC brought searing heat, rocky mountain tracks, and car-breaking conditions. Ogier outpaced Loeb in the closing stages to secure victory.


Route

Loutraki Loops: Fast but rocky with risk of punctures.
Mountain Climbs: Long ascents in high heat.
Dusty Descents: Low visibility for following cars.

Stages were primarily rough gravel, winding through mountains and valleys.

Car preservation was as important as outright speed in the Acropolis’ harsh terrain.
