Fans are being urged to follow Rally Islas Canarias from the safety of their homes after it was designated a non-spectator event in line with COVID-19 restrictions.
Each year, the FIA European Rally Championship counter attracts thousands of fans to the stages.
However, following guidelines from the local government’s Ministry of Health, the 44th running of the event – and today’s official test – are being held behind closed doors with the Rally Islas Canarias organisers pleading with fans to keep away from the stages.
A statement from the event organisers read: “The organisation strongly asks the fans for their understanding and, above all, their collaboration. If the indicated health and safety control conditions are not met, the Race Director, at the request of the competent authority, will suspend the scheduled activity.
“To guarantee the correct development of this event in each of its areas, the 44 Rally Islas Canarias will have the support of the Guardia Civil, both traffic, rural and public order, as well as local, national and Canary Islands’ police. Members of civil protection from each of the municipalities will also join, as well as the organisation's own marshals.”
