Sanremo Rally
The historic rally of the Riviera dei Fiori, between modern stages and vintage cars
About Sanremo Rally
A rallying legend
The Sanremo Rally is one of the most important motorsport events in Italy, based in Sanremo, in the province of Imperia. Organized by the Automobile Club del Ponente Ligure, it has written fundamental pages in the history of world rallying and continues to attract crews and enthusiasts from all over Europe, between the special stages of the Imperia hinterland and the spectacular city stages.
Modern and historic together
The event brings together multiple races: the modern Rallye and the Historic Rally, the latter valid for the European Historic Rally Championship (FIA EHRC), which showcases the vintage cars that have made the history of this sport. Completing the program are the Coppa dei Fiori, the Rally delle Palme, and the Rally Energie Alternative, dedicated to sustainable propulsion vehicles.
Spectacle on the Riviera
For several days, the streets of Sanremo and the Ligurian hinterland transform into a grand motorsport stage, with special stages, service parks, and fans along the hairpin bends. The Sanremo Rally is an integral part of the identity of the Riviera dei Fiori, a land of sea but also of curves, engines, and great automotive tradition.
