The rally opens on Friday the 4th of July with the usual super special in the town of Santa Cruz, this year in a "double dose".

On Saturday the 5th, the rally sections will also feature new ‘designs’. In the morning, the caravan will drive through Serra Branca and Luz/Barro Branco, and in the afternoon it will continue on to Luz/Portela and Praia/Quitadouro.
