Carlos Barbosa, president of the ACP, and Jona Siebel, general director of Promotora WRC, formalized the contract at Exponor, in an agreement that also provides for an option for the 2025 season, to be exercised next September, during the World Automobile Federation Council .
“The signing of this contract demonstrates the confidence that the WRC promoter has in the organization and is recognition of the effort we have made to organize one of the benchmark rallies on the World Championship calendar”, stressed Carlos Barbosa, president of the ACP.
The 56th edition of the Portuguese competition ends this Sunday, after the ‘power stage’ that will be held in Fafe.
The Finnish Kalle Rovanperä (Toyota Yaris) leads the standings and is preparing to repeat the victory achieved in 2022, the year in which he became the youngest world champion in history.
