This year the Rally has a special flavour with the return to the north of Portugal, a mythical scenery for national motorsports. We are expecting larger crowds, more passion and constant thrills throughout the three days of the event. With the ceremonial start in Guimarães, Portugal’s founding city, the Rally HQ will be in Matosinhos. Expectations over the novelty and the organisation of one of the world’s best rallies is high, as well as the necessity for everyone to strictly comply with safety measures in order to have a great show. In 2014, the Rally managed a new record-breaking economic revenue for Portugal and for the regions directly involved, strengthening the great presence of participants and spectators, therefore placing the Vodafone Rally de Portugal amongst the most participated events on the WRC. This year, and following the lack of support from the Ministry of Economy (through the Portuguese Tourism Board) to the event, I wish to underline the fundamental roll played by the Porto and North Tourism Board in contributing to making this great project possible acting as a driving force for the all region, in particular, and for the country in general. The support of our sponsors has been essential for the success of the event – Vodafone, BP and ACP Mediação de Seguros. I also wish to thank the municipalities of Amarante, Baião, Caminha, Fafe, Guimarães, Lousada, Matosinhos, Mondim de Basto, Paredes, Ponte de Lima, Valongo, Viana do Castelo and Vieira do Minho, whose support and contribution have allowed us to organise this successful event. I must also make a reference to the North Regional Coordination and Development Commission (Comissão de Coordenação e Desenvolvimento Regional do Norte – CCDRN) for its valuable collaboration and efforts to make this event possible. To all, ACP wishes the greatest success.

It was no surprise that, in 1967, ACP put on the road the first edition of the TAP Rally, a competition which, within a short time, conquered enormous international prestige and, only six years later, joined the first World Rally Championship. TAP Rally, and later Portugal Rally, has been responsible for glorious pages of success in World Championship history, having been awarded for five times the title of “Best Rally in the World”. In 2000, it was considered “The Most Improved Rally of the Year”. After having been withdrawn from the WRC calendar by FIA, the new ACP board, formed after President Carlos Barbosa’s election, worked very hard from 2004 to put the Rally de Portugal back in the WRC calendar, what was achieved in 2007, with the Algarve roads as scenery. As a result of the events rotation within the WRC calendar, Portugal Rally has been out of the 2008 Championship, but was back in 2009, receiving the unanimous applause from drivers, sporting authorities and Media. After a decade in the Algarve and Baixo Alentejo, of which seven years as part of the WRC calendar, and more than ten years since the last visit of the World Rally Championship to the Entre Douro e Minho region, the Vodafone Rally de Portugal returns to the North of the country in 2015. This will offer the WRC present stars the opportunity of experiencing first hand all the emotions and difficulties which have made the ACP event a mythical one. Presenting itself once again as the true start of the World Championship, after the Winter asphalt round of Monte Carlo, the snow from Sweden, and the flyaway rounds of Mexico and Argentina, the 2015 Vodafone Rally de Portugal will also represent a different challenge to drivers, for it will be the first brand new round of the WRC in the last three years. 3.1 Brief summary of the 2014 event As in the two previous years, the Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia team drove the Volkswagen Polo R WRC to victory at the 2014 Vodafone Rally de Portugal. Not satisfied, and on their way to the second World crown, the French team also won the Power Stage, scoring, for the second time in the season, the total of points available. Winning eight of the 16 stages, Ogier started the rally on the attack to leave Lisbon as leader, but the second day was punctuated by highs and lows. Third overall after SS3, behind Dani Sordo and Ott Tänak, the French fought back during the afternoon to get back the first position. However, he would, once again, be relegated to third by the end of the day, this time with Mikko Hirvonen leading the pack and Tänak again in second. The second leg started without changes, but with the World Champion climbing up the chart to get back to first, a position we wouldn’t surrender. Meanwhile, Jari-Matti Latvala drove very fast in an attempt to get back the time he had lost in the previous day due to a spectacular crash. At the same time, the podium started to gain shape behind the French. The Fin Hirvonen was a solid second at the wheel of the Ford Fiesta RS WRC, while Estonian Tänak blocked the stage after having crashed his Fiesta RS WRC, thus having put an end to his hopes to be among the top 3 in Portugal. The Norge Mads Østberg was the one who benefited the most with the crash, having taken his Citroën DS3 WRC to the last step of the podium. With the top 3 settled, the event saw very interesting duels for the remaining positions, with Andreas Mikkelsen (VW Polo R WRC) and Henning Solberg (Ford Fiesta RS WRC) completing the top 5. Nasser Al-Attiyah (Ford Fiesta RRC) won the WRC2, while Stéphane Lefèbvre (Citroën DS3 R3T) was the strongest amongst the WRC3 and, at the same time, the Junior WRC. As far as the home drivers are concerned, Pedro Meireles (Skoda Fabia S2000) was the winner of the national event, although the best Portuguese on the Rally was Bernardo Sousa, who drove his Ford Fiesta RRC to the 15th spot overall, fifth amongst the WRC2. 4 3.2 Previous winners I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII XIII XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII XIX XX XXI XXII XXIII XXIV XXV XXVI XXVII XXVIII XXIX XXX XXXI XXXII XXXIII XXXIV XXXV XXXVI XXXVII XXXVIII XXXIX XL XLI XLII XLIII XLIV XLV XLVI XLVII XLVIII 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Carpinteiro Albino – Silva Pereira Tony Fall – R.

With a rich history stretching back for millennia, the Matosinhos Municipality has a long lasting tradition and cultural heritage, thus harmoniously joining its past with modernity. The Bom Jesus de Matosinhos Church, associated with the legend of the Lord of Matosinhos, is the origins of one of the country’s largest pilgrimages. Every year, thousands of pilgrims pray to the Bom Jesus de Matosinhos, a sculpture dating back to the 11th century and attributed to the Pharisee Nicodemos. According to the legend, the apostle had sculpted 15 similar images after having witnessed Jesus Christ’s last living moments. One of these images is believed to be at the Bom Jesus de Matosinhos Church, built in the 16th century on purpose to host the image. The strong connection between land and sea is clearly felt in this city. In fact, we can observe a wide variety of landscapes offering multiple possibilities along its coast – ideal beaches both for leisure and water sports, including surf, fortresses and world wide celebrated architects’ masterpieces, such as Álvaro Siza, Fernando Távora, Eduardo Souto de Moura and Alcino Soutinho. Gastronomy, in which tradition fish and seafood are key elements, gives it a singular charm, making Matosinhos the ideal place for gourmets. Matosinhos has the world’s best fish and around 600 restaurants serving this specialty. Accept our challenge, come and enjoy our waves with the support of several local surf schools, and discover the history, culture, modernity, hospitality and flavours of Matosinhos.
