Background
Entry list
The following crews are set to enter into the rally. The event is set to be opened to crews competing in the World Rally Championship, its support categories, the World Rally Championship-2, World Rally Championship-3 and privateer entries that are not registered to score points in any championship. Nine are set to enter under Rally1 regulations, as are twenty-three Rally2 crews in the World Rally Championship-2 and ten Rally3 crew in the World Rally Championship-3.[4]
Eight-time World Rally Champion Sébastien Ogier and his current co-driver Vincent Landais were to compete at the rally but were forced to withdraw after a traffic accident with a Ford Mondeo durring a recce.[5] Both the crew and passengers of the Mondeo were hospitalised but did not sustain any serious injuries.[6] Fellow Toyota teammate Kalle Rovanperä and his co-driver Jonne Halttunen were immediately called upon to fill in for Ogier as a last-minute replacement following a decision from both the FIA and rally organisers.[7]
