The 2006 Rally of Turkey was a motor racing event for rally cars that was held over three days between 13 and 15 October 2006. It marked the 7th running of the Rally of Turkey, and was the thirteenth round of the 2006 World Rally Championship season.[2] The event was also the eighth round of the 2006 Junior WRC. The 2006 event was based in Kemer in Turkey and was contested over nineteen special stages, covering a total competitive distance of 337.79 km (209.89 miles).
Sebastien Loeb, along with Kronos Citroën World Rally Team were the defending rally winners, but Loeb would not enter the rally after breaking his arm in a mountain biking accident.[3] Colin McRae would take Loeb's place, in what would end up being his last rally before his death the next year.[4] He would retire on the final stage with mechanical issues.
Marcus Gronholm and Timo Rautiainen won the rally, their first rally win since the 2006 Rally Finland.

The event was open to crews competing in the World Rally Championship and its support category, the Junior WRC, as well as privateer entries that were not registered to score points in the manufacturer's championship.
