The 50th anniversary of the Rally Islas Canarias – Rally de España will boast a spectacular and extensive field, with a total of 60 vehicles taking part in the second World Championship event in the history of the Archipelago.
Teams from 20 different nationalities have registered to compete on the roads of Gran Canaria, where fans will once again witness the full WRC (World Rally Championship) grid, consisting of 10 top-tier category vehicles.
Among them is the Hyundai i20N Rally1, in which Dani Sordo and Cándido Carrera will make their highly anticipated WRC return in front of their home crowd. The 2024 World Champions, Thierry Neuville / Martijn Wydaeghe, and Adrien Fourmaux / Alexandre Coria will complete the Hyundai Shell Mobis World Rally Team lineup.
Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT will once again deploy its full arsenal for the Spanish round of the calendar, entering five Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 units.

M-Sport Ford World Rally Team rounds out the head of the entry list with the Ford Puma Rally1s of Joshua McErlean / Eoin Treacy and Jon Armstrong / Shane Byrne. Back this season in the WRC elite, they return to roads where they achieved significant results during their time in the ERC (European Rally Championship).
As in 2025, the Rally2 category remains the most crowded with 34 crews and a strong presence of national teams, including several Canarian competitors who will celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the Rally Islas Canarias – Rally de España with their home fans.
