World Rally Championship Rally1 crews receive an expanded tyre allocation for the upcoming Rally Chile. The FIA confirmed the regulatory change ahead of this weekend's competition on the country's abrasive gravel stages. This decision follows technical issues observed during Rally Paraguay last month, where participants faced frequent tyre delaminations and punctures. The move intends to mitigate similar equipment failures as teams navigate the demanding terrain. Officials hope the adjustment provides crews with sufficient resources to complete the scheduled stages without repeated tyre-related delays. The event is set to proceed this week as scheduled.
