One of the stages of the Portugal Rally will take place in Oporto during 2018. At the moment, the Oporto council and the promoters of the rally are still trying to figure out which is the best area to create a successful street stage! So far, there is some consensus around the Clérigos area, as the right location for a spectacular street stage, however, further studies are still needed to get to the optimum solution.
