This weekend the World Rally Championship (WRC) returns to Paraguay. The Latin American country made its WRC debut in 2025 and left its mark! Based in the city of Encarnación, close to the border with Argentina, the event promises a mix of smooth stretches of red dirt and more challenging technical sections in dense vegetation. Although the surface is predominantly soft and fast, deep ruts and sudden changes in the surface should keep riders on constant alert throughout the weekend. This is the third South American country to host a WRC round in the modern era, after Argentina and Chile. Post navigation Aprilia Trackhouse confirms the identity of Raúl Fernández’s next teammate
