The circuit
What to expect from the track
Sardegna runs on soft, sandy gravel that cuts up badly on the second pass, so the same stage is a different challenge in the afternoon. The service park sits in Olbia and most stages are within an hour of it.

Getting in: the gates
Which entrance to use and what it puts you closest to.
- Service Park, Olbia — free access and the best place to see the cars up close.
- Stage access points are signed from the main roads each morning.
- Some stage points need a rally pass; check the official programme.
Fan tips for the weekend
Small things that make a long race day go smoothly.
- Stages are in open countryside, so bring water, a hat and closed shoes.
- Arrive at a stage at least 45 minutes early, as roads close before the first car.
- Dust is heavy on the second pass; sunglasses are not optional.
