The 2022 Ypres Rally (also known as the Ardeca Ypres Rally 2022) was a motor racing event for rally cars that was held over four days between 18 and 21 August 2022.[2] It marked the fifty-eighth running of the Ypres Rally. The event was the ninth round of the 2022 World Rally Championship, World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3. The 2022 event was based in Ypres in West Flanders and was contested over twenty special stages covering a total competitive distance of 281.58 km (174.97 mi).[1]
