So, after the first look
Arganil, same as 2019.
Mortágua, no idea where the 4km cut is made.
Lousã and Gois with no changes.
Curious to see the 2 new stages. It's a much needed refresh to the route. Shame that it's in the year after the fires that devastated the whole area. The last one will be a night stage for the late runners.
Vieira do Minho is back, might be the same layout as 2017.
Cabeceiras de Basto, same as last year. I miss the old layout. It had the best spectating spot of the whole rally.
Amarante with a huge cut. Mostly at the beginning, but wouldn't discard an earlier finish as well. Stage now starts near the Fridão hairpin. Still the longest stage of the rally.
Sunday with nothing new, only stages switching from Saturday to Sunday.
Nice kilometres in total but I miss some stage over 30kms.
Bulacia / Vallejo in Toyota GR Yaris Rally2
Friday will be one of the best days of the entire season!

I think that it's the biggest Rally2/R5 list ever at a WRC event.
Amazing entry list! I have to visit this rally finally
It'll be great to see Sesks again, plus so many of the WRC2 contenders all at the same rally.
Hello, first post here. Im going to see this event, but i cant find any maps yet. Am I looking from the wrong place or they are not public yet?
Would like to plan our days.

Thank you! I am not a big fan of Paredes, it feels a bit Mickey Mouse with how the layout is, with so many detours etc
Passats de canto never disappoints!

According to Dirtfish Rally Portugal has the largest WRC2 entry list ever. It's actually more interesting than Rally1:

Yes, that might be the case indeed, which makes the list even more impressive. According to Shakedown starting list we have 55 RC2 contenders.Quote:

Very smart PR and marketing move by Sesks team - to take an extra ride and set the fastest time. Works very well for his sponsors and supporters. Very smart!
3rd run very even between Kalle, Ogier and Tänak
Not sure of the forecast but Ogier said he doesn't want any rain as the Hankook tyre was scary in the wet !Quote:
