The Scuderia Lancia, which later became the Lancia HF Squadra Corse, is the racing workshop of the Lancia car company, created in 1951 by Gianni Lancia, son of the brand's founder. Lancia officially began competing in motor sports, particularly in Sports car racing, where it distinguished itself in the Carrera Panamericana, the Targa Florio and the Mille Miglia. Lancia also entered Formula 1 in 1954–1955, without particularly shining. Lancia bounced back in the World Endurance Championship with three world titles between 1979 and 1981, and in rallying in particularly in International Championship for Manufacturers and World Rally Championship, winning 11 constructors' titles and 5 drivers' titles between 1970 and 1992. Since the end of 1992, Lancia has ceased all official involvement in motor racing. After 33 years, in 2025 Lancia returned to rallying, first in the Italian Rally Championship and then in the European Rally Championship and in 2026 in the World Rally Championship 2 with the Lancia Corse HF.

Prior to the forming of the World Rally Championship, Lancia took the final International Championship for Manufacturers title with the Fulvia in 1972. In the WRC, they remain the most statistically successful marque (despite having withdrawn at the end of the 1993 season), winning constructors' titles with the Stratos (1974, 1975 and 1976), the 037 (1983) and the Delta (six consecutive wins from 1987 to 1992). The Delta is also the most successful individual model designation ever to compete in rallying. All this gave Lancia a total of 10 championships over the years.
Juha Kankkunen and Miki Biasion both won two drivers' titles with the Delta. Among other drivers to take several World Rally Championship wins with Lancia were Markku Alén, Didier Auriol, Sandro Munari, Bernard Darniche, Walter Röhrl, Björn Waldegård and Henri Toivonen. The history of the brand in rallying is also tainted with tragedy, with deaths of Italian driver Attilio Bettega at the 1985 Tour de Corse in a Lancia 037 and then Finnish championship favourite Toivonen in a Lancia Delta S4 at the same rally exactly a year later. These deaths would eventually lead to the end of Group B rallying.
Martini Racing
editIn 1982, just as they had done one year previously with sports cars, Martini Racing signed with the works Lancia team, sponsoring the brand new Group B Lancia 037, with Attilio Bettega and Markku Alén as drivers.[3] The Lancia Martini partnership in the World Rally Championship was one of the company's longest, remaining until the end of the 1992 season, with several cars, including the Group B Delta S4 and Group A Delta Integrale winning events and titles with drivers such as Juha Kankkunen, Bruno Saby, Massimo Biasion and Didier Auriol. The Martini Lancia cars won the WRC Drivers' title in 1987 and 1991 with Kankkunen, and 1988 and 1989 with Biasion, as well as the Constructors' title with the 037 in 1983, and consecutively with the Group A Delta from 1987 to 1992. In 1993, Martini managed a smaller sponsorship program, restricted to the Italian Rally Championship with Italian rallyman Dario Cerrato

After more than 30 years, Lancia officially returns to rallying with the Lancia Ypsilon, from which two rally cars have been developed, the Lancia Ypsilon Rally4 HF for the Rally4 Group in 2024 and the Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale for the Rally2 Group in 2025. In 2025, the Ypsilon Rally4 HF competed in both the Italian Rally Championship, with a single-make trophy, the Trofeo Lancia Rally, and in the European Rally Championship. In 2026, the Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale competed in the WRC2[6]. On 21 January 2026, the Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale made its debut in the 2026 Monte Carlo Rally.[7][8] On 12 April 2026, the Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale achieved its first victory in the World Rally Championship 2, in the 2026 Croatia Rally, won by driver Yohan Rossel and co-driver Arnaud Dunand. A victory in the World Rally Championship that Lancia had not achieved for 34 years since the 1992 season.[9] Lancia enthusiasts, "lancisti", had been waiting for decades for this return to victory in the World Rally Championship.[10] On 26 April 2026, the Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale driven by Yohan Rossel and co-driver Arnaud Dunand achieved its second victory at the 2026 Rally Islas Canarias. The driver Yohan Rossel and the co-driver Arnaud Dunand proved to be precise, solid and effective with a Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale, which is equally reliable, solid and fast.[11]
