Widely hailed as the ‘Rally of Gods’, the Acropolis Rally of Greece will cover a total distance of 1,235 km, including 15 special stages stretching across 307 km over four days this weekend. This year as well, the spectators will witness 72 teams fighting it out for their spot in the gruelling event.
