Portugal has signed a new multi-year contract to continue hosting a round of the World Rally Championship until at least 2028. Rally Portugal, a founding member of the WRC since 1973, secured a new three-year deal for 2026, 2027, and 2028. The ACP President highlighted the importance of this agreement for the rally’s organization, local communities, fans, and the economy. Despite the rally’s high attendance, concerns were raised about the event’s demanding three-day schedule and potential changes for the next year. The WRC is also working towards finalizing the 2026 calendar, including Croatia’s return and plans to bring the championship back to the USA after more than three decades.
