The WRC heads to Italy to embark on its season finale after it was announced that Saudi Arabia would no longer serve as the 2026 season finale, having been removed from its place on the calendar.
With the manufacturer’s title already wrapped up in Chile, the drivers championship is still left to be decided. It will go down to one of three Toyota drivers; Elfyn Evans, Sami Pajari or Oliver Solberg, to mark the second consecutive year of the team securing back-to-back team, driver and co-driver world championship titles.
A total of 17 stages make up the season finale, spanning a total of 307.15 competitive kilometres across Italian terrain to determine this years world champion.
Saturday stands as the longest day in terms of kilometres travelled across the special stages, amounting to 123.66km. It also includes the longest stage of the weekend, the Coiluna-Loelle test which stands at 24.83km.
So what are the starting times for each stage across the weekend?
