Rally Argentina | 26 April - 29 April Briefing

First run in 1980 in Tucumán province in the north, when it was known as Rally Codasur.

The 1982 edition was cancelled due to the Falklands War between Britain and Argentina. Moved to Bariloche, in the south, in 1983 but found its home in Cordoba in 1984. Argentines are passionate soccer fans and in 2007 a stage was held at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires while Cordoba stadium, home to Talleres, has twice hosted stages and the finish.

Some challenges await you:

• The contrast between soft roads, and rocky & narrow tracks in the mountains. 
• Many river crossings in the valleys which become wide and deep in wet weather. 
• Early autumn in the southern hemisphere brings a risk of fog and possibly even ice in the mountains.
