Overview

Event Name: 2015 Rally Mexico

Date: March 5–8, 2015

Start Location: Guanajuato, Mexico

Finish Location: León, Mexico

Total Distance: 993 km (394 km competitive)

Participating Teams: 36 crews

The rally’s combination of searing heat, thin mountain air, and rocky gravel made it one of the most physically and mechanically punishing events of the season.

Route

El Chocolate: The WRC’s highest altitude stage at over 2,700 meters.
Guanajuato Street Stage: Opening night through narrow mining tunnels.
Endurance Loops: Rough gravel and long stages testing cooling systems.

The heat and altitude sapped power from engines and drivers alike.

Navigation & Challenges

  • Loose Gravel: Made early-stage road cleaning a major disadvantage.

Rally Mexico was a true survival test, rewarding careful pacing and mechanical sympathy.
