O Rally of Portugal stays out of the World Rally (WRC) next season. The information has just been released by Automobile Club de Portugal in a statement.

In the note, it can be read that the event was scheduled for May 13-16, ending up being one of the events affected by “changes made by the promoter on the last day of preparation for the next season”.

The aim of these changes was, according to the same statement, to ensure a time “so diverse” from the geographical “and intercontinental as possible” point of view.

It can also be read that “the first conversations between the Automobile Club of Portugal and the promoter of the WRC have already taken place” with a view to a return in 2028.
