Figueira da Foz will once again host the main national road racing competition. The last time the Rally of Portugal passed through here was in 1997, and this year it returns in force with a Super Special race in the urban area, specifically the riverside area between the City Hall building and the Santa Catarina Fort, on May 12 in the late afternoon. The Vodafone Rally de Portugal is the fifth event of the 2023 World Rally Championship (WRC), taking place between May 11 and 14. The race, organized by the Automóvel Club de Portugal, (ACP) will be the fifth stage of a calendar composed of 13 rallies.
