Episodes
1. SS1 VALSEQUILLO - TELDE 1 - 26.32km
April 25, 2025
A fast and flowing start to the rally, this stage begins in the heart of Valsequillo before launching into sweeping curves and wide tarmac. Drivers will need to be fully committed through the Las Vegas area, where the road narrows dramatically. The final section is a relentless uphill push with few reference points - precision, rhythm, and courage will make the difference.
2. SS2 VALLESECO - ARTENARA 1 - 15.27km
April 25, 2025
One of Gran Canaria’s hidden gems, this stage snakes uphill from the lush interior of Valleseco to the mountainous heights of Artenara. The road surface is near perfect, encouraging big commitment in the twisty mid-section. A long, fast descent into Artenara will test braking points and tyre temperatures – it’s deceptively tricky and rewards smooth, flowing lines.
3. SS3 LA ALDEA - MOGAN 1 - 17.83km
April 25, 2025
Breathtaking in every sense. Starting from La Aldea, drivers tackle a tough uphill section before entering a scenic high-speed stretch past the iconic coloured cliffs of Los Azulejos. The final kilometres twist and drop into Mogán, where tight corners and changing grip make this one of the most technical tests of the rally. A proper challenge for both tyres and brains.

7. SS7 MOYA - GALDAR 1 - 24.09km
April 26, 2025
This is the rally’s queen stage – a long, complex test that demands everything from the crew. Starting in Moya, it features rapid rhythm changes, multiple surface variations, and a constant change in elevation. Moisture in shaded areas and wide-open exposure elsewhere will complicate tyre strategy. If you're quick here, you're in the fight. Expect big gaps to emerge.
8. SS8 ARUCAS - FIRGAS - TEROR 1 - 13.75km
April 26, 2025
An homage to the rally's ERC roots. Beginning in Arucas, this stage runs fast and wide through to the famous crossroads of Los Chorros, where it tightens dramatically. The Zumacal climb is as demanding as ever, before a steep descent into Teror with heavy braking zones and hairpin after hairpin. It’s a stage where experience really counts.
9. SS9 TEJEDA - SAN MATEO 1 - 23.3km
April 26, 2025
A fan-favourite and one of the most scenic stages on the calendar. The route from Tejeda begins with technical curves and climbs through Ayacata before hitting a breathtaking section near Roque Nublo. From there, it’s downhill all the way to San Mateo, with a fast, flowing descent that requires pinpoint braking and confidence in every gearshift. Blink and you'll drop seconds.

WRC enters the arena – literally. This super special runs through the Gran Canaria Arena basketball stadium, creating an electric atmosphere.

15. SS15 MASPALOMAS 1 - 13.47km
April 27, 2025
This rally wraps up to the south of the island with the Wolf Power Stage decider. Fast from the start, it’s all about commitment and traction.
