SUMMARY:WRC EKO Acropolis Rally Greece
DESCRIPTION:A legendary WRC fixture. Twisty gravel mountain roads combine with high temperatures and choking dust to provide a fierce challenge. The tracks are smoother than they used to be but still pose punishing demands on tyres and cars.    \nChallenge\n\nHard base roads and high temperatures require careful management of tyres and cars.\nConditions are especially tricky on repeated stages\, when rocks and bedrock unearthed during the first pass can be especially damaging.\nAvoid mechanical issues. An opening leg with no service and long morning and afternoon sections on Saturday mean technical troubles will be severely punished.\n\n  \nCar spec\n\nGravel suspension.\nAdditional protection can be fitted to shield cars from the punishing roads.\nDrivers can raise the ride height to guard against rock-strewn roads during the second pass of stages.\nPirelli’s hard compound Scorpion tyres will be the template choice\, but soft compound rubber is also available. Each Rally1 crew will have a maximum of 28 tyres for the event\, including shakedown.\n\n  \nServicepark\nLocated at the National Trade Fair in Lamia in central Greece\, 220km north of Athens. \nHistory\n\nThe Acropolis Rally was first held in 1953 and was a founding member of the FIA World Rally Championship in 1973. In the 1970s it regularly comprised more than 50 stages and 850 competitive kilometres.\nApart from 1974\, when it was cancelled due to an oil crisis\, and 1995\, when it was an FIA Two-Litre Cup round only\, it remained in the series until 2010. It returned in 2011 but was dropped from the WRC at the end of 2013\, after which it became a European Championship round.\nIn 2005 the Acropolis was named Rally of the Year following a hugely successful super special stage in a packed Olympic Stadium in Athens.\nColin McRae is the Acropolis master with five wins between 1996 and 2002. He won twice in a Subaru Impreza before a hat-trick of wins from 2000 in a Ford Focus.\nOther winners include former world champions Walter Röhrl\, Björn Waldegård\, Ari Vatanen\, Miki Biasion\, Juha Kankkunen\, Carlos Sainz and Sébastien Loeb.\nFord tops the manufacturers’ roll of honour with 13 wins.

It’s certainly not fait au compete in open class OR1\, where Brother Leader Tread KTM lad Bradley Cox has Michael Pentecost and his Franchise Co Tork Craft Honda hot on his heels. Behind them come Honda duo Ian Rall and Hayden Louw\, and Charles Reinhard-Kersop on his KTM.\n \nThe big fight is in 250cc OR3\, where the title lead has changed hands throughout the season and four riders remain in contention. Honda lad Kyle Eggar holds a scant eight point advantage over Matthew Wilson’s Brother Leader Tread KTM with Haydn Cole’s Franchise Co Tork Craft Honda another four points adrift and Ryan Pelser’s factory Husqvarna ready to pick up the pieces. Also watch for Tyron Beverley and Noah Maartens’ Hondas\, Myles Crookes’ KTM\, Cobus Bester’s Husqvarna and Wian Wentzel’s Kawasaki among the 250s.\n \nKerim Fitz-Gerald has already wrapped this season’s Seniors title up on his Red Bull KTM\, leaving comeback king Louwrens Mahoney and Wynand Delport’s Franchise Co Tork Craft Hondas and Marco Cocci’s Yamaha to fight for the places. Pepson Plastics Kawasaki man Pieter Holl has likewise already claimed the Masters title\, where Husqvarna rider Wayne Farmer\, Mielies Le Roux on a KTM\, and Kobus Jonck’s Honda will fight over second.\n \nLuke Walker leads title rivals Thomas Scales and Blake Young’s similar KTM in the 125 cc High School chase with Derek Karam on a Yamaha\, and another KTM trio Brandon Clarke\, Rory Donaldson\, and Nathan Westerdale Daniel Peckham in chase. Murray Smith is already 85 Junior champion on his Franchise Co Tork Craft Husqvarna\, with KTM lads Bruno Niebuhr\, Franco Fourie and Drikus van der Merwe scrapping for second. GJ Coetzee’s Husqvarna is also home and dry in the 65 cc chase\, with Wilco du Plooy\, John Luke van der Westhuizen\, Cambeul du Preez and Joshua Fotheringham struggling over second.\n \nKTM arrives at Bloemfontein in the 2023 Trademore South African Cross Country Manufacturers Championship lead from Honda\, Husqvarna\, and Kawasaki.
