The race

The bp Ultimate Rally Raid Portugal presented itself as an absolute first in the Motorsport universe in 2024: a competition for cars and motorbikes full of adrenaline, emotion and unforgettable moments. In 2025, the event will once again be part of the World Rally Raid Championship, from 22 to 28 September 2025. Organised once again by the ACP - Automóvel Club de Portugal, this time it occupies the 4th position on the W2RC calendar, with the only stage being held on European territory, namely in Portugal and Spain.

The race will cover a course of 1000 kilometers of technical roads, mostly wide, and with varied types of terrain: from the vast sandy beaches of the Alentejo coast to the well-trodden roads of the Ribatejo, not forgetting the rockier roads of the Spanish Extremadura. Diversity is on offer for the five days of this event, which will be based in the town of Grândola, in the district of Setúbal.
