Why 2025 Will Be a Game-Changer for Rally Enthusiasts at the Vittorio Caneva Rally School

The Vittorio Caneva Rally School has been the cornerstone of gravel rallying excellence for decades, and 2025 promises to elevate this legacy even further. With a blend of innovative courses, state-of-the-art facilities, and a bold expansion into new disciplines, we are set to remain at the forefront of global rally training. Here’s what you can expect from our Gravel Division this coming year.

 

Current Offerings: The Foundations of Rallying Excellence

  1. Stage Gravel Rally Courses with Subaru
    These courses are tailored for all levels of drivers, from beginners taking their first steps into rallying to seasoned professionals refining their technique. Offered in three progressive levels, our Subaru Impreza WRX serves as the perfect training tool. With advanced telemetry and onboard video analysis, participants experience a full immersion in rally techniques while navigating specially designed gravel circuits​​.

    • Level 1: Introduction to rally dynamics.
    • Level 2: Dynamic driving on varied tracks with rally tires.
    • Level 3 (Super Stage): Real-stage practice with pace notes and recces.
  2. Pro-Level Training with FIA Rally Cars
    Drivers looking to master competitive rally driving have access to FIA-spec Rally5, Rally4, and Rally2 cars. These courses focus on optimizing car setup, tire use, and telemetry-driven performance analysis. Custom coaching is available to cater to individual goals and maximize progression​​.

  3. Facility Rentals for Rally Testing
    Located at our Gravel Rally Hub in Catalonia, Spain, teams can rent our world-class facility. This 250-hectare site offers over 6 km of special stages and various circuits. Equipped with a workshop and briefing areas, it serves as an ideal base for private team testing or training events​​.

 

What’s New for 2025: Innovation and Expansion

  1. Stage Courses with Rear-Wheel Drive BMWs
    For drivers seeking to broaden their skill set, we’re introducing gravel stage courses with BMW rear-wheel drive cars. These sessions will focus on mastering oversteer control and weight transfer—essential skills for handling diverse rally conditions​.

  2. Combined Stage Courses with Subaru and BMW
    Rallying is often about versatility, and our new combined stage courses allow up to four participants to alternate between Subaru AWD and BMW RWD vehicles. This unique format emphasizes adaptability and delivers a comprehensive training experience​.

  3. New Additions: Clio and Fiesta Rally3 Cars
    To support the rising popularity of the Rally3 category, we’re adding the Renault Clio and Ford Fiesta Rally3 to our fleet. These cars provide a stepping stone between Rally4 and Rally2, giving aspiring drivers the opportunity to experience the intensity of four-wheel drive on gravel​​.

  4. Desert Racing School: A Bold New Venture
    In 2025, we’re launching the Desert Racing School, a specialized spin-off dedicated to cross-country disciplines such as Dakar, Baja, and rally raids. The program will kick off with foundational courses using competitive side-by-side (SxS) vehicles. Drivers will learn navigation techniques, terrain reading, and endurance rally strategies, with plans to expand services in the future​.
