Quicklinks
Car spec

- Abrasive surface places high demands on tyres, especially if hot weather sends the thermometer rising.
History
- First held in 1967 and one of the founding events in the inaugural 1973 WRC.
- Initially a mixed surface rally, it switched to a pure gravel format but lost its place in the calendar after bad weather ruined the 2001 event.
- Organisers moved from the north to the Algarve holiday region in the south and it regained its place in 2007.
- Named ‘Best Rally in the World’ on five occasions.
What’s new for 2015
- Update coming soon.
- Stages in the north of Portugal not used on the rally since 2001.
Don’t miss
- Remember to take a look at Jari-Matti Latvala’s dramatic 2009 crash when he rolled a Ford Focus RS WRC 17 times down a hillside. See it again at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrRNxB3i9rg
