The rally uses similar territory to last year, the major change being a
switch to one single service park on the seafront in Limassol for the entire
rally. After a ceremonial start in the town on Thursday evening, the
opening leg continues the next day with two loops of three stages in the
Troodos Mountains, two of which are new. The second leg is the toughest and
most demanding, comprising more than 145km of competition in the same area.
The final leg moves east to the hilly forested Machairas area for two loops
of three tests. It will be the shortest world rally ever with just 324.17km
of competition in a route of 1306.21km
