The crews will firstly pass from "Świętajno" in the morning and in the afternoon and could not be absent from this year's Rally Poland as it is a famous stage from WRC and ERC for many years. The following stage will be "Gołdap" which was only in World Rally Championship from 2014 to 2017. "Czarne" is the penultimate and the final stage of the morning and the afternoon respectively.
The final day of Rally Poland inludes two repeated stages. The action of the two loops begins with "Gmina Mrągowo" which was running in ERC for two years. The first pass from "Mikołajki" will be crucial for the crews as they can do some corrections to their pacenotes due to the fact that the second pass from that stage will host the Powerstage where a pair can take the five bonus points for the championship.
