Such was the economic impact to the islands from the thousands of visitors who came for the rally and stayed, that all local stakeholders were keen to immediately secure the long-term future for the WRC in Canarias.”Rally Islas Canarias is round five of the 2026 WRC season, held on April 23-26.Words:Luke Barry Tags: Rally Islas Canarias, WRC, WRC 2029 Publish Date January 8, 2026 DirtFish https://dirtfish-editorial.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/2026/01/BZiDwMhj-Pajari04RIC25sg294-780x520.jpg January 8, 2026 Up Next
