The countdown has begun! The XI Rallye TT de Cuenca is gearing up to wave the green flag, setting the stage for the final battle of the Spanish Championship. This isn’t just another race — it’s one of the most beloved events for both car and motorcycle competitors, thanks to its thrilling route through the raw heart of Castilla-La Mancha.
On October 3rd and 4th, the engines will roar across the breathtaking Serranía de Cuenca, a natural wonderland of towering pine forests, dramatic cliffs, winding gorges, and open dehesa landscapes. The terrain here is no ordinary backdrop — it’s a geological masterpiece, full of unique formations that make this region one of Spain’s most striking mountain ranges.
The action kicks off on Friday, October 3rd, with an 11-kilometer Super Special Stage that will be crucial in setting Saturday’s starting order. Then comes Saturday, October 4th — the real test — a grueling 400 kilometers against the clock, split into two Selective Sectors.
Race director Víctor Alijas promises a demanding and dynamic course for this 11th edition: “This year the terrain is going to be highly technical. We’ve designed a route full of variety — dense mountain trails, endless paths, and sections that will truly test co-drivers. To raise the stakes even higher, 60% of the course is brand new.”
The rally will sweep through 25 municipalities, showcasing not only adrenaline-fueled racing but also the region’s rich cultural and natural heritage. And just nearby lies the newly recognized Serranía de Cuenca Astronomical Park, now a UNESCO StarLight Tourist Destination — one of the rare places on Earth where the night sky reveals its brilliance in full.
With the support of the Castilla-La Mancha Regional Government, the City of Cuenca, and the Provincial Council of Cuenca, this rally is set to be an unforgettable finale to the season — fast, fierce, and framed by some of the most spectacular landscapes in Spain.
