Rally Italia Sardegna
rally competition in Sardinia, Italy
The Rally Italia Sardegna (formerly known as Rally d'Italia Sardegna) is a rally competition held on island of Sardinia in Italy. The rally is one of the World Rally Championship (WRC) rounds from 2004 to 2026, except for one year in 2010 being held as an Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) event. The rally is set to be hosted as a European Rally Championship (ERC) event from 2027 onwards.
Characteristics
The rally is held on narrow, twisty, sandy and bumpy mountain roads around the town of Alghero or Olbia. The Italian round of the World Rally Championship was previously the Rallye Sanremo, held first as a mixed surface event and later on asphalt roads around the resort of Sanremo, but Rally d'Italia Sardegna replaced it in the WRC schedule from the 2004 season.
The 2008 event was held from 15 to 18 May 2008 and the latest stage, Liscia Ruja (2.69 km, near the five-star hotel in Cala di Volpe, well known as James Bond's favourite resort), was broadcast live. The 2010 rally was the first running of the event under IRC rules and four stages were also broadcast live by Eurosport.

Why this record matters
The phrase “rally competition in Sardinia, Italy” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1294855. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2004, 2026, 2010 and 2027.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
