42 crews started in the Acropolis Rally 2011, which will be held between June 16 and 19. World's best pilots of the World Rally Championship gathered for the first time in Greece with new cars of new specifications, ready to compete in 18 special routes with a total length of 348.80 km. Among the participants are the seven times world champions for the last years Sebastien Loeb with his navigator Daniel Elena and their Citroen DS3 WRC. There are 18 WRC cars and the participants in the SWRC category are 10!
