Rally Argentina

It is held in the area around Villa Carlos Paz in Córdoba Province, on narrow gravel roads best known for their water-splashes.

The rally was first run in 1980, in Tucumán Province and organized by the Automovil Club Argentino.

The winners of that first edition were Walter Röhrl and Christian Geistdörfer (Fiat 131 Abarth).

In 2012, the route was expanded to include some 500 km (300 mi) of competitive stages, making it the longest rally in the modern era of the sport.

[1] Famous stages include El Condor-Copina [es] and Mina Clavero.
