2018 Rally Mexico (Mexico)

Overview

Event Name: 2018 Rally Mexico

Date: March 8–11, 2018

Start/Finish Location: León, Mexico

Total Distance: Approx. 1,055 km (competitive stages ~344 km)

With thin air from stages exceeding 2,700m in altitude, engines lost power and cooling systems were pushed to their limits under searing heat.


Route

Las Minas: Twisty mountain roads with sheer drops.
Guanajuato Street Stage: Iconic tunnel-filled opener through a UNESCO heritage city.

The combination of heat, dust, and thin air tested drivers’ endurance as much as car reliability.
