The Sonoran Desert does not forgive. It does not forget. And it certainly does not make things easy. On Special Stage One (SS1) of the 2025 Sonora Rally, competitors got their first real taste of what the coming days have in store—and for many, it was a harsh awakening. What looked like a relatively mild start to the rally quickly turned into a gauntlet of punishing dunes, deceptive sand traps, and mechanical misfortunes.
