The Biobío region enjoyed a true sporting celebration with the World Rally Championship, which brought together thousands of fans and placed Chile among the select group of only 14 countries that host a World Rally Championship (WRC) event. The race included 16 timed stages with a total of 306 kilometers, was broadcast to more than 105 countries, and featured Chilean driver Alberto Heller in the top category (Rally1) alongside Ford’s M-Sport team.

As strategic partners, ARAUCO and Copec promoted social activities that strengthened ties with communities: school visits together with Copec’s Viva Leer Libraries, tours with students and drivers to Copec Flux’s PMGD plant, a green reforestation activity led by ARAUCO, and visits by children from different schools in the region to the Service Park. Likewise, the Rally Chile Biobío consolidated its position as the only circuit on the global calendar to neutralize its carbon footprint, by offsetting nearly 8,000 tons of CO₂e.

In this way, Chile’s most important motor racing championship has, for 24 years, delivered benefits to the communities where it takes place, while also contributing to the country’s positioning as an international benchmark in sustainable rallying.
