The event, organised by Motorsport Italia and Max Rendina, opens entries today, May 3rd, exclusively via the FIA platform, and reveals key updates to the 2025 itinerary. Two 30-kilometre stages form the rally core of the event, while Rome and its rich history remain at the heart of the event’s identity.
Rome, May 3rd 2025 – Entries for the 2025 edition of Rally di Roma Capitale officially open today, May 3rd. The event, organised by Motorsport Italia and Max Rendina, will serve as the fifth round of both the FIA European Rally Championship and the Italian Rally Championship, scheduled from 4th to 6th July. Entry applications must be submitted exclusively via the official FIA registration portal, with the deadline set for June 19th. The event continues also its commitment to excellence and environmental responsibility, remaining the only round in the championship to have achieved three-star accreditation within the FIA Environmental Programme.
The 2025 rally introduces several route updates, reaffirming the organisers’ commitment to delivering a competitive and spectacular event. While maintaining key elements such as Rome’s central role and the rally headquarters in Fiuggi, this year’s itinerary includes brand-new special stages and two major tests of over 30 kilometres each – the only event in the ERC calendar to feature such long stages in both legs.
The Qualifying Stage “Fumone” retains its name but adopts a new configuration. The opening 2.5 kilometres will be run in the opposite direction to 2024, before linking into part of the former Alatri stage for roughly 4 kilometres, ending with a spectacular jump.
The rally will then head to Rome for the unmissable opening ceremony in the heart of the Eternal City – a postcard moment that has brought Rally di Roma Capitale to screens around the world.
Leg 1 on Saturday, July 5th, begins with “Collepardo – Pozzo D’Antullo” (6.47km), a fully new stage connecting Vico del Lazio to Collepardo and finishing near the historic sinkhole of Pozzo d’Antullo – a dramatic karst formation over 40 metres deep, surrounded by lush vegetation. A scenic liaison section will lead crews through the Gola dell’Inferno and past the Certosa of Trisulti.
Saturday’s highlight is the brand-new “Torre di Cicerone” stage, measuring 34.57km and almost entirely unprecedented. The route starts near the Roman aqueduct in Fontana Liri, passes by the Civitavecchia Necropolis, and finishes at the Torre di Cicerone in Arpino, birthplace of the famed Roman orator.
The revised “Santopadre” stage will open one kilometre earlier than last year and retain the popular final jump – a crowd favourite framed by a natural amphitheatre designed for spectators.
Sunday, July 6th features the returning “Guarcino-Altipiani” – the only Italian stage with a tyre warming zone at the start. The key challenge of the day will be “Canterano-Subiaco”, over 30km long. Its final section mirrors the closing part of last year’s “Cave-Subiaco” stage, and it may prove decisive in shaping the overall standings.
The rally will conclude with the scenic “Jenne-Monastero” stage, whose second pass will serve as the Power Stage. Known for its passage through natural rock tunnels near the Monastery of Santa Scolastica, this test offers a stunning interplay of light and shadow – a fitting finale to the 2025 edition.
As in previous years, the finish will take place in Fiuggi, which also hosts the service park (divided into multiple zones) and the Rally HQ, located in the town’s new auditorium.
