Rallye Côte d'Ivoire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rallye Côte d'Ivoire is a rally race held annually in the Ivory Coast in Africa. In common with other races on the continent, it is known for its arduous conditions and high attrition rate among competitors.

It was part of the World Rally Championship for drivers and manufacturers in 1978–81, and was also part of the championship for drivers only in 1977 and 1982–92.

In 2006 the event was part of the African Rally Championship, but was dropped for 2007 season due to reports by observers [1].
