After returning in 2021, the Vodafone Rally de Portugal will once again take to the roads of Monte de Santa Quitéria. The route is a veritable merry-go-round in the forest, interspersing fast areas with sections of very demanding driving, on a course that was tailor-made for the Rally when it was first used in 1993.

SS12/16 - Amarante

Schedule— 1.st passage at 10:05am I 2.nd passage at 04:35pm

Since 2015, the Amarante section has remained the longest stage of the rally with a total of 37.24 kilometres. The route of this stage starts in Mondim de Basto and largely uses the old Marão, a classic of the Rally de Portugal of the 80s. Places such as the Fridão hairpin, the Ponte da Guiné and the Sapinha hairpin are travelled again this year as they were for the first time in 1969. Due to their distance, the teams are taking a different approach, where endurance and pace management will certainly be decisive factors in a good result on this third day of competition.

Spectator Area 24

At this point, in the municipality of Mondim de Basto, competitors approach a gain to the left that requires great technique in its manoeuvre, typical of this mythical rally section. 4x4 access area.

The big news for 2023 was the inclusion of the special classification race in Paredes. This year's route has been revamped and partly takes advantage of the shakedown route, ending in the same place, the Baltar Circuit. The section has everything from very fast to slow areas, in open countryside, in the middle of eucalyptus trees, which will be an excellent challenge for the drivers.
