What Happened
Lancia will field four Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale entries in round eight of the WRC2 season at the Acropolis Rally Greece, one of the most iconic gravel rallies in the FIA World Rally Championship. The event marks a modern return for a brand that dominated the Greek stages in the late 1980s and early 1990s with the legendary Lancia Delta.
Leading the charge is Yohan Rossel, currently second in the WRC2 drivers' standings, who aims to reclaim the championship lead from teammate Nikolay Gryazin. He is joined by three additional entries: Léo Rossel, Pablo Sarrazin, and Conner Martell, the latter making his WRC debut.
“The Acropolis Rally will be the first WRC event where four Lancias line up at the start, entered by three different teams and driven by highly competitive crews. The deployment of the Lancia Ypsilon Rally 2 HF Integrale across multiple teams continues to progress at an excellent pace.”
Why this matters
Lancia returns strongly to one of rallying's most iconic events, fielding four cars in WRC2, highlighting its renewed commitment to motorsport.
