[WRC] Rally Portugal 2023

[AnttiL]

Route is mostly same as last year, except:
- no opening shakedown
- new Friday evening street stage Figueira da Foz
- Vieira do Minho extended from the end (same as 2016 ending)
- Felgueiras and Lousada run now on Saturday
- Paredes is a new single-run stage on Sunday, but it's an extended version of the shakedown, also ending at the rallycross track
- Cabeceiras de Basto driven now on Saturday, only once, and reversed
- Montim stage dropped

No extra Rally1 cars, Sordo on third Hyundai, no Ogier. Good WRC2 entry with Mikkelsen opening his season in new Fabia RS, fighting for the win with Greensmith, Solberg, Gryazin (no WRC2 points), Suninen, Fourmaux and Rossel. Other WRC2 entries include Virves, Pajari, Joona, Marco Bulacia, Cais and the return of Armindo Araujo, after his ERC crash.

Thank you. I've been waiting for this.

Im staying in Coimbra Thur night and planning to get to two stages on Friday.

I've been advised to make sure I get to Arganil

Assuming this is sound advice which other stage would you suggest and in which order (am/pm)

Any other pointers ? from a spectating pov are appreciated. Walk in etc.

If your feeling generous with your pointers I'd happily take a steer for Sat and Sun.

many thanks

Think that also Meeke will be there with I20 and hopefully the battle will be even more intense.

From where do you get that information?
I´ve not seen any official about that. (Thinking of Pickems entrylist...)

Here's the article from dirtfish - https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/fulto...ongside-meeke/.
And you can also see it in the entry list - number 68.

Actually I do. But use WRC.com (eg. entry list from organizer, via link on wrc.com) as the only source for Pickems. At no 68 says TBA. So I don´t find any official on Meeke to Portugal, yet. Sorry.
