  • Four Bolivian drivers will compete in the upcoming Rally of Paraguay, the eleventh round of the World Rally Championship (WRC).
  • The event is scheduled to take place from August 27 to 30, featuring 22 special stages and over 358 kilometers of timed racing.

Bolivia will be represented by four drivers at the upcoming Rally of Paraguay, marking the eleventh event of the World Rally Championship (WRC) season. The competition is set to unfold from August 27 to 30 on the challenging Paraguayan terrain, attracting 60 crews to compete across 22 special stages covering a total of 358.99 timed kilometers.

Among the Bolivian contingent is Nataniel Bruun, a regular competitor in the WRC3 category. Co-driven by Argentine Mario del Riego, Bruun is seeking redemption after a mechanical failure cost him a podium chance in a recent race. He holds positive memories of the Rally of Paraguay, having led his category last year before a mechanical issue ended his charge, ultimately finishing fifth, a result he aims to improve upon this year.

Marquito Bulacia will also be a key participant, competing in the highly competitive WRC2 category. Bulacia brings strong recent form, currently leading the Italian Gravel Rally Championship (CIRT) and gaining valuable experience in the European Rally Championship (ERC). These engagements have kept him sharp against top international drivers.

La Paz Motorsport will make its WRC debut with representation in the Rally4 category. Pedro Lagrava, navigated by Gustavo Rojas, and Kevin Vásquez, with co-driver Antonio Uría, will both pilot Peugeot 208 vehicles in this class.
