Countdown to Cappadocia

Round four of the Petrol Ofisi Maxima 2025 Turkish Rally Championship, Rally Cappadocia, organised by Başkent Turing Spor Kulübü, will take place from 11-13 July in Nevşehir, in the unique landscape of Cappadocia. Held with the support of ICRYPEX, Spor Toto, Remed Assistance, Salados, Fora Araç Takip, Power App and AutoClub, and in cooperation with the Nevşehir Governorship, Nevşehir Municipality and numerous other institutions, the event stands out as the first gravel rally of the season.

Unlike a conventional rally, Rally Cappadocia will open at 04.30 on Friday 11 July with a rally car rising into the sky beneath a hot air balloon, providing a one-of-a-kind visual spectacle over Cappadocia. The same day at 20.30, the ceremonial start will take place in Kayaşehir, given by the Governor of Nevşehir, Ali Fidan.

The first day of competitive action, Saturday 12 July, will begin in Avanos. The stages will then run through the Gülşehir, Açık Saray and Uçhisar areas. On Sunday 13 July, the rally will start from Love Valley (Aşk Vadisi) and finish after the stages in Ürgüp, Ortahisar and Kavak. The prize-giving ceremony, to be held in Paşabağları Valley among Cappadocia's emblematic fairy chimneys, will give the rally a romantic and magical finale.

Set against Cappadocia's historic fabric and extraordinary natural scenery, this event will captivate not only speed enthusiasts but everyone who loves nature, culture and adventure.
