About Rally Mexico
Rally Guanajuato Mexico is the third round of the FIA World Rally Championship. It takes place in the mountains surrounding thecities of León, Silao, Irapuato and Guanajuato, in the State of Guanajuato, in Mexico, from the 8th to the 11th of March 2012. Since its inclusion in the WRC in 2004 it has been an increasinglypopular event with competitors and spectators alike, always placing within the Top 5 rallies of the world in every measurable aspect.
