Known for hosting world-class events such as the WRC (FIA World Rally Championship) and World RX (FIA World Rallycross Championship), this iconic venue will now also become part of the Portugal Rally Series story, serving as the perfect stage for an end-of-season celebration.
The event format will follow the championship’s unique identity: 7 Special Stages condensed into a single day — divided between the traditional Rally Series Arena, which will host both the action and the event’s Fanzone, and an external stage — ensuring a competitive experience that stays close to the fans.
The first day of the event, dedicated to the official shakedown and promotional activities, will feature a Parade of competition cars through the center of Lousada.
Statement from the Rally Series Promoter:
“Ending the season in Lousada is very special for us. We’re talking about a venue with a world-class motorsport legacy, and bringing the Portugal Rally Series to this setting means giving fans and teams a true end-of-season spectacle. This championship was created to be innovative, engaging, and sustainable, and in Lousada we’ll have the perfect stage to close the year in celebration.”
Statement from the President of the Automóvel Club of Lousada:
“For the Automóvel Club of Lousada, it’s a source of pride to host the Final Round of the Portugal Rally Series in this first and already very successful year of the project. We’ve organized internationally renowned events and know the level of responsibility that comes with it. We believe this innovative format, with short, compact, and spectator-friendly stages, will bring fantastic energy to Lousada and further strengthen our connection to national motorsport.”
With this confirmation, the 2025 Portugal Rally Series calendar grows even stronger, concluding a memorable inaugural season with a final round where many trophies will be decided
