Rally Portugal 2026 Route Summary Last year’s Rally Portugal was criticized for its too long Friday. The problem has been solved by dividing part of the stages for Thursday evening. Some stages have also been reversed and shu…

My guess is Sordo for tarmac and technical gravel, Lindholm for fast gravel and snow.
