Held on the beautiful island of Sardinia, Rally Italy – or Rally d'Italia Sardegna to give it its full name – is a notoriously tricky event. Won by Sébastien Ogier in 2013 and 2014, but hoping for a strong result in 2015 will be Welshman and M-Sports's Elfyn Evans and Ralio will be following his attempt at this year's 6th round.

The rally, whose headquarters are in Olbia in the north of the island, is highly rated by the drivers, thanks to the varied roads, the rally has something for everyone – high-speed passages, winding sections, spectacular water splashes and even a few dreaded jumps.

Cheered on by thousands of tifosi, the drivers have to keep a cool head in the holiday paradise, because the sharp stones in the gravel of Sardinia have destroyed many a dream of victory.
