Which WRC rally is known for the famous 'El Brinco' jump?

The WRC rally known for the famous “El Brinco” jump is Rally Mexico. El Brinco is a spectacular gravel-road stage in the Rally Guanajuato México route, where cars launch over a pronounced crest before landing at high speed.

The jump became one of Rally Mexico’s signature visual landmarks because it combines a dramatic airborne moment with the demanding conditions of Mexican gravel. Drivers must balance speed, braking and car stability while also preparing for the bends and changing grip immediately after the landing. A small misjudgment can cost time or damage the suspension.

Rally Mexico is based mainly around Guanajuato and León in central Mexico. Its stages are known for altitude, rough gravel and narrow roads cut through mountainous terrain. These conditions create a distinctive challenge: thinner air can reduce engine performance, while loose surfaces punish drivers who attack corners too aggressively.

El Brinco is sometimes confused with famous jumps from other rallies, especially Fafe in Rally Portugal and Colin’s Crest in Rally Sweden. Those are iconic in their own right, but El Brinco is associated with Rally Mexico.
