Rally Croatia 2025 will be the final round of the FIA European Rally Championship (ERC) this season, taking place from October 3 to 5, 2025. The event is based in Zaprešić, near the capital Zagreb, with all stages run on asphalt.

Route and Stages

The rally features a total of 10 special stages covering 172.36 km, with the overall route including road sections reaching nearly 590 km.

• Friday evening will see the ceremonial start.

• Saturday offers six stages, with the longest being Krašić – Sošice (22.70 km).

• Sunday closes the rally with four stages, finishing with the decisive Power Stage “Zagorska Sela – Kumrovec.”

Croatian asphalt is notoriously tricky – a mix of fast sections and technical corners, often with changing surface and grip levels. This makes it one of the toughest rallies on the ERC calendar.

Championship Standings

Ahead of the final round, the top of the standings looks like this:

1. Miko Marczyk – 146 pts

2. Andrea Mabellini – 131 pts

3. Jon Armstrong – 113 pts

It is worth noting that Miko Marczyk has contested all rounds this season, while Mabellini and Armstrong each missed one event. This adds extra intrigue going into the showdown in Zagreb.

What to Expect

• Marczyk starts as the favorite, but consistency and avoiding mistakes will be key to sealing the title.

• Mabellini and Armstrong are expected to push flat out, as only a victory or podium finish can keep their title hopes alive.

• Sunday’s Power Stage could prove decisive, with bonus points often tipping the balance in the championship fight.

Fans can expect a thrilling season finale, as Croatia will crown the new ERC champion.
