Registrations for this twenty-first edition of the event are possible until April 30, with 70 entries being admitted. It is worth noting that, as every year, crews residing in Sardinia will benefit from a 50% reduction in registration costs.

The race is the sixth round of the FIA World Rally Championship 2024 and is scheduled from May 30th to June 2nd, with the logistical base in Alghero, a renewed route of 266 kilometers of timed stages, collateral initiatives, and the usual spectacular scenery that only Sardinia with its layouts can offer. The Supplementary Regulations, available from March 30 on www.rallyitalisardegna.com, detail how to enter the rally via the FIA portal and request press accreditation. Deadlines for media accreditation are May 9th for national media and May 15th for international media.

THE RACE. The 2024 Rally Italia Sardegna, the sixth round of the World Rally Championship, will take place from May 30 to June 2 in Alghero. This year, Rally Italia Sardegna received permission from the FIA to run its 21st edition in a more condensed format, which may be considered by other organizers in the future due to ongoing FIA regulatory changes. The rally comprises three stages, including 16 special stages covering 266 kilometers of timed routes to be completed within 48 hours. Organized by the Automobile Club d'Italia in collaboration with the Regione Sardegna, the event returns to Alghero. It begins on Friday, May 31st, with the shakedown at Ittiri at 8:01, followed by the start of the first leg at 13.30. The race concludes on Sunday, June 2, around 13.00, after the Sassari Argentiera power stage.

INITIATIVES. The RIS Experience initiative also continues this year, offering paid privileged areas for spectators who want to enjoy a special viewing experience. This initiative, which has been successful in past editions, offers three levels: Gold, Platinum, and Black.
