The 2023 Rally Chile (also known as the Rally Chile BIOBÍO 2023) was a motor racing event for rally cars held from 28 September to 1 October 2023.[2] It marked the second running of the Rally Chile, and was the eleventh round of the 2023 World Rally Championship, World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3. The event was based in Concepción of the Biobío Region, and was contested over sixteen special stages covering a total competitive distance of 321.06 km (199.50 mi).[1]
Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja were the defending rally winners. The team they drove for in 2019, Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT, were the defending manufacturers' winners.[3] Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen were the defending rally winners in the WRC-2 category,[a] and Takamoto Katsuta and Daniel Barritt were the defending rally winners in the WRC-3 category.[4][b] However, neither crews defended their titles as they were promoted to the top tier by Toyota in 2020.[5][6]
Tänak and Järveoja successfully defended their title. Their team, M-Sport Ford WRT were the manufacturer's winners.[7] Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT sealed the manufacturer's title.[8] Oliver Solberg and Elliott Edmondson won the World Rally Championship-2 category.[9] Eduardo Castro and Fernando Mussano won the World Rally Championship-3 category, which meant Roope Korhonen and Anssi Viinikka became the 2023 WRC3 champions.[10]
