As the 2024 Acropolis Rally (5-8 September) is approaching, Manos and Kostas Stephanis decided to investigate how well they know each other’s “Acropolis preferences”.
At the end of this release, you can watch a video of the Greek duo being “examined” for its knowledge or judgements, on questions about the other crew member, and then each confirms what is actually true for himself.
What does Manos think is Kostas’ favorite participation in the Acropolis Rally and what is the reality?
What does Kostas think is Manos’ favorite Acropolis Rally Car? Does he give the correct answer, or does his driver have another opinion?
Those are only a few of the questions they were “tested” …
It is worth noting that this will be the 4th participation of Manos Stefanis as a driver at the Greek round of the WRC.
On the other hand, Kostas Stefanis is preparing for his 30th start at the Acropolis Rally, whilst completing 49 years of active presence in the WRC and being the only competitor together with the Finnish co-driver Timo Hantunen* who has achieved something like this in the history of the series, from 1973 until today.
To honor the special occasion, this year’s presence of the Traction Rally Team in the Acropolis Rally will consist of the motto “49 years rocks & dust”, inspired by the world-renowned automotive designer Sotiris Kovos, which perfectly encapsulates the rally career of Kostas Stefanis.
The Acropolis Rally 2024 has attracted 72 entries from 31 different countries, whilst Manos and Kostas Stefanis are sharing an M-Sport prepared and supported Ford Fiesta Rally3 that will carry No.55.
Apart from the overall classification, the Greek crew will also be part of WRC3 classification, which consists of 19 crews.
The participation of Manos and Kostas Stefanis is sponsored by Coral S.A. – Shell Licensee.
