À l’occasion de la cinquième manche du calendrier 2022 du WRC, 100 concurrents sont attendus au départ au Portugal.
Dans la catégorie reine, les Rally1 battent un record avec l’engagement de 12 voitures grâce à l’ajout d’une cinquième Puma pour Sébastien Loeb. Chez Toyota, Sébastien Ogier revient à la compétition en remplacement d’Esapekka Lappi pour cette épreuve.
En position délicate chez M-Sport après sa récente sortie en Croatie, Adrien Fourmaux sera bien présent au volant d’une Ford Puma Rally1.
En WRC2, les français seront tous présents avec le trio suivant en Citroën C3 Rally2 : Yohan Rossel, Eric Camilli et Stéphane Lefebvre. Leader du championnat, Andreas Mikkelsen fait son retour après son impasse de la Croatie. De son côté, Teemu Suninen débutera son programme 2022 avec Hyundai Motorsport alors qu’Oliver Solberg sera exceptionnellement présent dans cette catégorie.
En WRC3 Junior, Jean-Baptiste Franceschi poursuivra sa saison au milieu d’un plateau de sept concurrents.
Champion de France Terre la saison dernière, Cyrille Féraud s’alignera au volant de sa Citroën DS3 WRC.

Très gros plateau en Rally2 en effet, cela sera très positif pour lui si Rossel arrive à rivaliser : à suivre!…
Je suis content pour Fourmaux qu’il soit présent, j’avais vu sur d’autres sites internet que c’était pas sûr. Il doit absolument finir ce rallye, même si la performance est moyenne.
