The Troodos Rally, round three of the 2007 FIA Middle East Rally Championship, got underway with a ceremonial start in Eleftheria Square in Nicosia on Friday evening.

The event has attracted all the championship regulars, including current championship leader Sheikh Khalid Al-Qassimi in the Team Abu Dhabi Subaru Impreza WRX STi, supported by Pirelli, defending champion Nasser Saleh Al-Attiyah and former championship runner-up Sheikh Abdullah Al-Qassimi.

The event is set to finish in Nicosia on Sunday afternoon after two days of high-speed action over twisty gravel special stages in the Troodos foothills between Nicosia and Larnaca.
