The Intercontinental Rally Challenge will visit the Canary Islands for the first time this year after series organisers announced Rally Islas Canarias Trofeo El Corte Inglés would replace Rally Principe de Asturias on the 12-event IRC calendar.

The schedule change was instigated after Rally Principe de Asturias bosses ran into funding difficulties last month.  However, it remains unclear how many IRC regulars will contest the famous island event, a mainstay of the Spanish asphalt championship.
It’s timetabled to run from April 28-May 1, which is a handful of days after the boat transporting the cars and equipment of the leading IRC teams reaches Europe from Argentina. To counter a possible low turnout, organisers will offer regular IRC entrants travel subsidies.
The inclusion of the Canary Islands on the IRC schedule means that five of the 12 IRC rounds will take place on islands. The agreement is currently a one-off but IRC boss, Marcello Lotti, says he hopes to secure a long-term deal with the Canarias Sport Club, which runs the event.
