The 2022 Rally Italia Sardegna (also known as the Rally Italia Sardegna 2022) was a motor racing event for rally cars held from 2 June to 5 June 2022. [2] It was the nineteenth running of the Rally Italia Sardegna. The event was the fifth round of the 2022 World Rally Championship, World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3. The event was based in Alghero in Sardinia and was contested over twenty-one special stages covering a total competitive distance of 307.91 km (191.33 mi). [1]
Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia were the defending rally winners. [3] However, they did not defend their title as Ogier undertakes a partial program in 2022 and Ingrassia retired from the sport at the end of the 2021 season. [4] Jari Huttunen and Mikko Lukka were the defending rally winners in the WRC-2 category. [5] Yohan Rossel and Alexandre Coria were the defending rally winners in the WRC-3 category, [6] but Coria was unable to defend his title as he stepped up to the top-tier to co-drive with Adrien Fourmaux for M-Sport. [7]
Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja won the rally, their first of the season. Their team, Hyundai Shell Mobis WRT, were the manufacturer's winners. [8] Nikolay Gryazin and Konstantin Aleksandrov won the World Rally Championship-2 category. [9] Jan Černý and Tomáš Střeska won the World Rally Championship-3 category. [10]
