EKO Rally Greece is moving back to Loutraki after five successful years in Lamia, a region with a rich rallying history. Loutraki, situated on the Gulf of Corinth near Athens, previously hosted the Acropolis Rally from 2009 to 2013 and is now welcoming the WRC again. Simon Larkin, Senior Events Director at WRC Promoter GmbH, expressed that the relocation aims to maximize the event’s sporting heritage and economic impact in each host region. While Lamia served as an excellent host, the move to Loutraki aligns with the Minister’s vision, offering diverse stage options, better accessibility, and increased tourism opportunities. Loutraki’s proximity to Athens is seen as a strategic advantage for attracting new audiences and enhancing the overall WRC experience.
