The 2024 Rally Poland (also known as the ORLEN 80th Rally Poland 2024) was a motor racing event for rally cars that was held over four days from 27 to 30 June 2024.[2] It marked the eightieth running of the Rally Poland, and was the seventh round of the 2024 World Rally Championship, World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3. The 2024 event was based in Mikołajki in Warmian–Masurian Voivodeship, and was contested over nineteen special stages, covering a total competitive distance of 304.10 km (188.96 mi).[1]
Thierry Neuville and Nicolas Gilsoul were the defending rally winners, their team, Hyundai Shell Mobis WRT, were the defending manufacturer's winners, both of them in the WRC class.[3]
Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen won the rally, and their team, Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT, won the manufacturer's titles.[4] Sami Pajari and Enni Mälkönen won the World Rally Championship-2 category.[5] Diego Dominguez Jr. and Rogelio Peñate won the World Rally Championship-3 category.[6]
After breaking the Mikolajki Arena stage record,[7] the crew of Tänak and Järveoja was forced to retire on the second stage when they crashed onto a deer at 189 kilometres per hour (117 mph).[8] Being first on the road, they still managed to win Super Sunday.[9]
Background
Entry list
The following crews entered into the rally. The event was opened to crews competing in the World Rally Championship, its support categories, the World Rally Championship-2, World Rally Championship-3 and privateer entries that were not registered to score points in any championship. Nine entered under Rally1 regulations, as were twenty-three Rally2 crews in the World Rally Championship-2 and ten Rally3 crew in the World Rally Championship-3.[10]
Eight-time World Rally Champion Sébastien Ogier and his current co-driver Vincent Landais were to compete at the rally but were forced to withdraw after a traffic accident with a Ford Mondeo during a recce.[11] Both the crew and passengers of the Mondeo were hospitalised. No one sustained any serious injuries initially, however the driver of the Mondeo died a week later.[12] Fellow Toyota teammate Kalle Rovanperä and his co-driver Jonne Halttunen were immediately called upon to fill in for Ogier as a last-minute replacement following a decision from both the FIA and rally organisers.[13]
