Last included as a round of the WRC in 1973, Poland's most prestigious motorsport event celebrates its 66th anniversary this year with a return to the WRC calendar.
The event has a long and illustrious history stretching back to 1921, making it the second oldest rally in the world after Rally Monte Carlo. In its earliest form the route covered 600 km and ran back and forth from Warsaw to Bialowieza, but since then the event's location and format has changed considerably.
