The Canary Islands Rally is a rally event that is held annually on the island of Gran Canaria , Spain , organized by the Canarias Sport Club team since 1977. Initially it was called El Corte Inglés Rally , an appellation that came from its main sponsor , until 2002, it was renamed the Canary Islands Rally. The event is scoring for the Spanish Rally Championship and it has also been so on numerous occasions for the European Rally Championship and for the IRC between 2011 and 2012. In 2013 it will again enter the European calendar.
The rally began to be held in 1977 and in the 1980s it was already part of the calendar of the Spanish Championship and the European Championship. The first winner was Medardo Pérez who won the first two editions with a BMW 2002 Alpina. Later the French Marc Etchebers did the same in 1979 and 1980. The Spanish Carlos Sainz starred in the 1980s by achieving five consecutive victories, between 1985 and 1989 and with three different vehicles.
The Italian pilots Fabrizio Tabaton and Piero Liatti won in 1990 and 1991 respectively, and the Uruguayan Gustavo Trelles did it in 1993; all three with each Lancia Delta . Then the Spanish won again from 1994. Between 1995 and 2003, the Canary Islands had a maximum coefficient in the European Championship. In 1997 Jesús Puras won the first of his four victories achieved in the Canary Islands, almost consecutive, only interrupted by the Frenchman Gilles Panizzi in 1998 and Salvador Cañellas in 2002.
In 2004 and 2005, the event was left out of the European Championship, and became part of the Western European Cup, along with Asturias and Azores among others. The race was only scoring for the Spanish Championship from 2006 to 2009. In 2008 the local driver Luis Monzón got his second victory in the test fourteen years after the first (1994).
As of 2010, the test has been scoring for the IRC and then the ERC. The foreign drivers again dominated the rally with two victories for Jan Kopecký and one for Juho Hänninen .
In 2013 it lost the punctuation for the European championship due to the budget cut in large part due to the lack of institutional support 2 although in 2016 it returned to the continental calendar again. 3
