ERC 2015 - Cyprus Rally - Day 1

ERC 2015 - Round 09 - Cyprus Rally - Day 1

With its origins dating back to 1970, the Cyprus Rally returned to the ERC schedule for the first time since 1999 when Nicosia hosted the thrilling action in 2014. And to mark the occasion, the Cypriot capital was the setting of an exciting street stage, which included a section through the United Nations-controlled buffer zone between the historic city’s Greek Cypriot and Turkish inhabited areas. The ERC’s only mixed-surface event, which also counts for FIA Middle East Rally Championship points, will be back on the roster in September 2015 when crews will once again battle challenging stages and high ambient temperatures.
