Portuguese rally racing developments

Overview

The Portuguese rally scene has seen updates regarding event logistics, competitive results, and economic concerns.

Regional events in Viana do Castelo and Porto Santo established specific schedules and traffic restrictions. The Porto Santo Rally, serving as the final round of the CORAL Madeira Rally Championship, was set for November with a course totaling 118.44 kilometers.

In competitive developments, Rui Camões secured third place at the Rally de Vizela following a review of a potential 10-second penalty.
