SS13 NEOCHORAKI

Jari-Matti Latvala-Tomiya Maekawa are the winners of Historic Acropolis Rally 2026! Congratulations!

SS12 THIVA

A mechanical issue has struck the Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD ST165 of the rally leaders, Jari-Matti Latvala and Tomiya Maekawa, and it remains to be seen whether the mechanics will be able to repair the damage before the final Special Stage, “Neochoraki”. The fastest crew in the “Thiva” Special Stage were the Austrians Kris Rosenberger and Nicola Januschke Bleicher, who remain second overall. More than half a minute behind them are Achilleas Christodoulou and Konstantinos Soukoulis. Grégoire de Mévius-André Leyh hold fourth place ahead of Petros Panteli and Antonis Chrysostomou.

SS11 MAVRONERI

Jari-Matti Latvala and Tomiya Maekawa were once again the fastest crew in Special Stage 11 “Mavroneri”. Kris Rosenberger and Nicola Janushke Bleicher continue to hold second place overall, with just 14 seconds separating them from Achilleas Christodoulou and Konstantinos Soukoullis in third.

SS10 ELATEIA-ZELI

Unbeaten at the Historic Acropolis Rally so far, Jari-Matti Latvala and Tomiya Maekawa continued their dominant run by claiming yet another stage victory. Kris Rosenberger and Nicola Januschke Bleicher remained in second place, once again extending their advantage over the third-placed crew of Achilleas Christodoulou and Konstantinos Soukoullis to 15 seconds. Grégoire de Mévius and André Leyh, currently fourth overall, are unable to challenge the leading crews. They are followed by the Cypriot crew of Petros Panteli – Antonis Chrysostomou, as well as Christophe Jacob and Isabelle Regnier.

SS9 AMFIKLEIA

Another stage win for Jari-Matti Latvala-Tomiya Maekawa, who set the fastest time in “Amfikleia”, the opening stage of the third and final leg of the Historic Acropolis Rally. Kristopher Rosenberger and Nicola Januschke Bleicher remain in second place, but now feel the pressure from Achilleas Christodoulou and Konstantinos Soukoulis, who are third overall and just one second behind the Austrian crew. Following the retirement of Marios Stafylopatis and Giorgos Chatzirigas, Grégoire de Mévius and André Leyh moved up to fourth place, followed by the Cypriot crew of Petros Panteli and Antonis Chrysostomou. Special Stage “Elateia-Zeli” will start with a 15-minute delay.

Special Stage 9 “Amfikleia” was temporarily interrupted following a rollover involving the Lancia Delta Integrale of Marios Stafylopatis and Giorgos Chatzirigas, who had been leading the Greek Historic Rally Championship in Categories 1-4 up to that point. Crew ok.

Due to muddy conditions, the length of Special Stage 9 “Amfikleia” has been reduced by 4 kilometers from the start.
