The stages are built on compact sand roads, reminiscent of Scandinavian rallies. They’re fast, narrow, and feature jumps, bumps, and tight forest sections. Cars need a rigid setup: stiff suspension, elevated roll-center geometry, and sharp brake response are critical for stability and grip. This rally rewards precision.
