Diego Domínguez and Rogelio Peñate will tackle Rally Chile BioBío, taking place from September 10 to 13, 2026, with renewed confidence after securing an important victory at Rally Paraguay. The Paraguayan driver and Spanish co-driver arrive at this next round of the championship aiming to maintain their upward momentum and once again deliver a performance at the level of their most recent outing.
The experience accumulated on gravel rallies will be particularly important in Chile, where the speed of the stages will require a high level of concentration from the very first kilometre.
Following their victory in Paraguay, Domínguez and Peñate will look to extend their strong run of form and approach the event with ambition, in a rally where every detail could prove decisive.
Rally Chile BioBío is one of the fastest and most technical gravel events on the calendar. Concepción, a city located on Chile’s Pacific coast, will serve as the event’s hub and will once again put drivers and co-drivers to the test on stages characterised by high speeds and a significant technical challenge.
In addition to the characteristics of the route itself, weather conditions could also play a decisive role. Fog, which is common in this part of Chile and can considerably reduce visibility, will be one of the main challenges for competitors, while the possibility of rain could alter the condition of the roads and add even greater complexity to the event.
Diego Domínguez (DRIVER): “We head to Chile with a lot of confidence after our victory in Paraguay. It will be a very fast and technical rally, so we will have to stay focused and find our rhythm from the start. We are ready and really looking forward to competing again”.
Rogelio Peñate (CODRIVER): “We approach Rally Chile with a lot of excitement after our victory in Paraguay. We know it is a difficult rally, completely different from Paraguay, but now we know that we have the speed and consistency to fight at the front”.
Teo Martín (TEAM MANAGER): “Diego and Rogelio arrive in Chile with a great deal of confidence after their victory in Paraguay. They have shown the speed and consistency needed to run at the front, and the goal now is to maintain that level in such a demanding rally”.
Alejandro Cachón and Borja Rozada put themselves to the test in the demanding Rally Chile Biobío
MSi Racing Team and TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Spain will compete in Rally Chile from September 10 to 13, the twelfth round of the 2026 World Rally Championship (WRC), with Alejandro Cachón and Borja Rozada at the wheel of the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 in the WRC2 category. Following their retirement from Rally Paraguay, the Spanish pairing faces their second consecutive World Championship event in South America with the aim of scoring as many points as possible and getting back into contention at the top end of the standings.
Chile will be a completely new rally for Alejandro Cachón, who will compete in the event for the first time. Borja Rozada, on the other hand, is already familiar with the Biobío region’s stages, having competed in the 2023 edition. That previous experience will be particularly valuable in an event where pace notes and confidence from the very first pass are crucial.
Alejandro Cachón (DRIVER): “We arrive in Chile with a lot of enthusiasm, and it will be my first time competing here. We know we will face very fast and technical stages, where tyre management will be important. We will have to carry out good reconnaissance, prepare the pace notes carefully and build confidence from the very beginning”.
Borja Rozada (CODRIVER): “Now it’s time for Chile, a rally I have already competed in, and it is very difficult because of the characteristics of its stages. They are forested and the tyres will suffer a lot”.
Teo Martín (TEAM MANAGER): “Chile will be an important challenge for the team, especially after retiring in Paraguay. We are approaching it with maximum motivation and the aim of helping Alejandro and Borja regain their confidence and achieve a strong result in WRC2’’.
