      1      INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME

    Welcome to the 54th Vodafone Rally de Portugal, held between May 20th and 23th, on
    the North and Centre of the Country.

    Following the success of previous years, the WRC Rally de Portugal’s 54th edition will be
    the sports and touristic event which will contribute the most to the placement of the
    Country as tourist destination and to the territory’s cohesion.

    With its headquarters at Exponor, in Matosinhos, the Automóvel Club de Portugal has,
    once again, selected Coimbra as the starting point of the Rally, with the traditional
    Ceremonial Start.

    Portugal’s image abroad is clearly one the strongest impacts generated by the WRC
    Vodafone Rally de Portugal. As a promoter of the Country as a tourist destination, the
    revenue generated by the 2019 edition surpassed 67.7 millions euros of AEV (Advertising Equivalent Value). This
    valorisation results from the international exposure of the event’s and the North and Centre of the Country’s
    image through TV, Print, Web-TV, online and social media over more than 150 countries, such as France, Finland,
    Belgium, Spain, Japan, Poland, Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic and Bulgary.

    Along with the full media coverage of the event, done by the WRC Promoter, the 2021 Vodafone Rally de Portugal
    has already assured six international live TV broadcasts during the three days of competition.

    The Vodafone Rally de Portugal is eligible for the World Rally Championship with the Rally1 cars (former WRC),
    the WRC 2 with the Rally2 (former R5 cars), and to the returned Junior WRC with the Rally4 (former R2). The event
    is also included in the Portugal Rally Championship calendar and in the 2020 Peugeot Rally Cup Ibérica, with the
    Peugeot 208 Rally 4.

    A word of appreciation for the essential support of the sponsors – Portugal Tourism, North and Porto Tourism
    and Centre Tourism boards, as well as Vodafone, BP, Hertz and KontraProduções - and a very special thanks to
    the entities working towards the safety of the event, without which it wouldn’t be possible to have the Rally: GNR,
    Police, Civil Protection and INEM.

    The International Olympic Committee considered the 2019 Vodafone Rally de Portugal as the first successful
    motorsports event in terms of environmental sustainability. Through its environmental accreditation programme,
    the FIA has the goal of reducing the WRC’s events environmental impact, therefore, the Automóvel Club de
    Portugal has, yet again, elected the environment preservation on the Rally as one of its main priorities.

    Last but not least, a very relevant issue to the success of the Rally de Portugal: the safety of the event and,
    particularly, the safety of spectators. The huge popular enthusiasm stirred by the Rally de Portugal should always
    be an added value to national sport and tourism. FIA, the Promoter and Automóvel Club de Portugal are also
    working on formulating COVID guidelines, which will be published as soon as details can be confirmed.

    Only with the commitment of all the WRC Vodafone Rally de Portugal will be crowned with success.

                                               I wish you an excellent Rally
