The 2024 event was based in Mikołajki in Warmian–Masurian Voivodeship , and was contested over nineteen special stages , covering a total competitive distance of 304.10 km (188.96 mi).[ 1]
Thierry Neuville and Nicolas Gilsoul were the defending rally winners, their team, Hyundai Shell Mobis WRT , were the defending manufacturer's winners, both of them in the WRC class.[ 3]

After breaking the Mikolajki Arena stage record,[ 7] the crew of Tänak and Järveoja was forced to retire on the second stage when they crashed onto a deer at 189 kilometres per hour (117 mph).[ 8] Being first on the road, they still managed to win Super Sunday.[ 9]
Background
Entry list
The following crews entered into the rally. The event was opened to crews competing in the World Rally Championship, its support categories , the World Rally Championship-2, World Rally Championship-3 and privateer entries that were not registered to score points in any championship. Nine entered under Rally1 regulations, as were twenty-three Rally2 crews in the World Rally Championship-2 and ten Rally3 crew in the World Rally Championship-3.[ 10]
Eight-time World Rally Champion Sébastien Ogier and his current co-driver Vincent Landais were to compete at the rally but were forced to withdraw after a traffic accident with a Ford Mondeo during a recce.[ 11] Both the crew and passengers of the Mondeo were hospitalised but did not sustain any serious injuries.[ 12] Fellow Toyota teammate Kalle Rovanperä and his co-driver Jonne Halttunen were immediately called upon to fill in for Ogier as a last-minute replacement following a decision from both the FIA and rally organisers.[ 13]
