2021 ACROPOLIS RALLY
1. INTRODUCTION - WELCOME
Greece welcomes you to its iconic and historic event, the Rally of Gods.
One of the oldest and most grueling rounds of the FIA World Rally Championship, the
Acropolis Rally, will return for the first time in eight years, reinvigorated and in sync
with the challenges of the new era.
For the elders, it's an opportunity to recall some unforgettable moments, while the
younger generation will have the chance to get to know a unique country.
A land chosen by the Gods for their home. The birthplace of harmony, democracy,
philosophy, justice and the Olympic spirit.
September is probably the ideal month to visit Greece. The summer heat has fainted,
many visitors are already reminiscing about what they have experienced and the sea
is at its best.
Greece combines uniquely the picturesque mountains with the seaside. It's easy to sit under the shadow of a pine tree and
overlook the sea.
We are looking forward to welcoming you beneath the Parthenon temple in Athens, the capital of Greece. Then, in the
Peloponnese and specifically in the Corinthia region and for two more days, in the city of Lamia in central Greece, where the
HQ and Service Park will be hosted.
In a very short distance from Lamia, there are some very popular points of interest, like Delphi (90km), Meteora (140km)
and Thermopylae (18km).
Additionally, the special stages of this year’s route pass through some locations of unique beauty.
We strongly advise you to choose them for watching the Rally.
Welcome to the Acropolis Rally.
The Rally of Gods.

exiting the country.
9.2 There are no custom formalities for Teams whose country of origin is a member of the EU and enter Greece from an EU
country.
9.3 Teams or private competitors whose country of origin is NOT a member of the European Union including the UK are
required to provide the Greek customs with either:
a. A CARNET ATA, which simplifies custom formalities or
b. Teams must bring along a detailed list, signed by the accompanying person in charge, in two (2) copies.
This list should include:
1. Full name/address of the person in charge. If a company owns the vehicles, this list should include the details of
the company and must be signed by the authorised person.
2. Full name of each driver of each vehicle.
3. Value of all items to be imported.

One of these copies, attached to the legalized list, will be held at the customs office, the other copy will be delivered to the
person in charge.
So that vehicles and equipment be released from customs, upon departure from Greece, the person in charge must hand in
these two documents to the customs authorities, which will verify that all items imported are actually exported, even if they
are damaged or destroyed, avoiding thus the payment of duties or taxes.
In the case that their vehicle(s) is (are) registered in a country of the EU then a document showing that the car or vehicle
has been hired for the rally signed by the owner will be also requested.
In all cases, the vehicles’ original registration documents must be available.

16.2.1 ONLINE ACCREDITATION
All international requests from publications, agencies and websites for rally-by-rally or permanent accreditations must be
made online at https://wrc.ams.fia.com/login
Applications from Greek publications and websites for Acropolis Rally must be addressed to the National Press Officer.
First-time applicants (publications / agencies / websites) must register before any application for accreditation can be
submitted. Applicants may be asked for a number of documents by email which may need to be supplied in their original
form by post. After approval by the FIA, the applicant will receive an email which will give access to the online accreditation
system. Only then can an accreditation application be submitted. Please note that the FIA reserves the right to refuse access
to the online accreditation system.
After approval, the online accreditation system can be accessed via the FIA website using your chosen ID and password. The
online accreditation system will apply for accreditation requests for any event for the 2021 FIA World Rally Championship.
16.2.2 ACCREDITATION PRINCIPLES
Editors of publications, agencies and websites are asked to conform to the following principles to ensure that media
accreditation is restricted to professional journalists and photographers.
The FIA considers the "Media" pass to be a working tool to be used only by bona fide members of the press. Publishers,
marketing personnel, sub-editors, staff of the publication's secretariat, etc. cannot be accredited as Media.
The FIA only accredits publications:
a) with a minimum circulation whose size and quality fulfil the criteria of the FIA;
b) with a format and quality which fulfil the criteria of the FIA;
c) which are on sale to the public via retail outlets (trade, club or internal company magazines will normally not be
accredited). However, at the sole discretion of the FIA, and where the quality and circulation criteria justify their
consideration, such magazines may be eligible for accreditation on a case-by-case basis.
TV and radio broadcasters, and any electronic media wishing to broadcast moving images, must send their request to
accreditation@wrc.com
Under no circumstances will advertising, public relations agencies or similar companies and organisations be accredited as
media, nor will the Organisers issue any accreditation to representatives (press officers or otherwise) of sponsors, suppliers,
engine suppliers, teams, drivers, etc.
The FIA WRC Media Delegate may accept requests from teams with priority drivers for the accreditation of press personnel,
with a maximum of one person per team.
The FIA will only accredit press from outside the country in which the event is held. National press must apply to the
National Press Officer (e.g. Greek press applying for Acropolis Rally should apply to the National Press Officer, while press
from countries other than Greece should apply to the FIA).
FIA Permanent Credential Holders requesting a Substitute and/or an Additional pass, must apply to the FIA using the online
system.
The central and local offices of the major international press agencies (AP, AFP, Reuters, ANSA, UPI, DPA, LUSA, BELGA, JIJI,
KYODO, EFE, Press Association, SAPA, Australian AP, APA, etc.) will always be accredited by the FIA.
Websites
Internet accreditation is intended for professional stand-alone internet editorial/news coverage only. It is not to be used for
any other purpose, including but not limited to public relations, promotional, commercial or entertainment use.
A maximum of one representative journalist per website per event may be accredited.
16 RALLY GUIDE 12021 ACROPOLIS RALLY
16.2.3 ACCREDITATION CRITERIA
Publications and agencies
The FIA will allocate annual permanent media accreditation to publications intending to publish reports for every FIA World
Rally Championship event during the season (please see paragraph 6 below).
Press passes can also be allocated on a rally-by-rally basis to general news, specialist, business and lifestyle consumer
publications that do not intend to publish conventional rally reports but whose coverage is considered to be of promotional
benefit to the sport.
Exceptionally, a maximum of three representatives (journalists and/or photographers) per publication may be accredited for
any one round of the FIA World Rally Championship. Agencies are subject to the same requirements as publications.
All applicants must fulfil the following basic criteria:
Coverage
For a daily newspaper, a substantial amount of coverage for each event is required. For example, an introductory article in
the Thursday edition, follow-up articles in Friday, Saturday and Sunday editions, plus a rally report in the Monday edition.
For a weekly or monthly publication, a substantial amount of coverage for each event is required and a major portion of the
overall content should be on the subject of WRC.
Publications or agencies applying for a rally-by-rally photographer accreditation must supply evidence of independent
coverage of a minimum of 15 pictures per pass issued at each event they have been accredited for in the previous year’s
Championship.
Quality
The highest standards of fairness and accuracy are expected as a minimum quality requirement from the press.
Circulation
Accreditation decisions are based on the relative media market in the country of the applicant. As such, the usual minimum
circulation for a national weekly or monthly publication is 20,000 copies. For a national daily, the minimum circulation is
50,000 copies.
Freelance journalists must apply for credentials via their own agencies. The onus is on the freelance applicant to prove the
supply of regular stories to at least three publications meeting the FIA Accreditation Criteria.
Photo agencies must be able to prove that the pictures have been regularly sold to publications matching the FIA criteria
and have been paid for at the normal commercial rate. A publication must be able to prove that the pictures published are
the original work of the publication's accredited photographer.
Websites
To be eligible for consideration for Internet Accreditation an applicant must register online and comply with or fulfill (as the
case may be) the following Accreditation Criteria.
It should be noted that only journalists will be granted website accreditation and only one representative per website will be
accredited.

professionally-run general news or sports website with a dedicated Championship section. In each case all and any coverage
of the Championship must be free of charge to the public.
The applicant must submit satisfactory evidence of publication on the website of news coverage of each Championship event
in the previous Championship season, also with the dates of publication, correctly bylined.
Please note that only coverage of Championship events will qualify for consideration. General feature articles that are non-

as follows:
i. at least one news story (of 250 words or more) on each of the Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday;

The applicant must respect intellectual property rights of the FIA and third parties. This shall include the strict prohibition on
the taking of any moving picture images, sound recordings, use of trademarks, title or logos or the transmission of certain
kinds of results as further set out in the Accreditation Agreement. If any pass holder is found producing action moving
images of any kind of the Event (or any part thereof), their accreditation will be withdrawn and the pass holder will be not
be admitted to any major FIA championships for the foreseeable future.
The FIA will allocate Internet Accreditation taking into account the above criteria in order to ensure that Championship
coverage on the Internet is carried out responsibly and that coverage is as widespread as possible. Please note that due to
the limited space available for media at the Championship events, compliance with the above cannot guarantee Internet
Accreditation.
