The fourth stage of the Ultimate Rally-Raid Portugal 2024 marked a crucial moment in the competition. Drivers covered the route from Badajoz, Spain, to Grândola, Portugal, defining key positions before the final stage.
In the Ultimate category, Toyota dominated with Yazeed Al Rajhi from Overdrive Racing securing his first stage victory, followed by Seth Quintero from Toyota Gazoo Racing and Guillaume de Mévius also from Overdrive Racing. Despite losing time to Mini JCW competitors, Nasser Al Attiyah from Nasser Racing by Prodrive maintained his lead in the overall standings.
Austin Jones from Can-Am Factory stood out in the Challenger category, followed by Rokas Baciuska, maintaining his championship lead. In the SSV category, Ricardo Ramilo from Ramilo Scuderia triumphed, increasing his advantage.
The results of this stage are crucial, setting expectations for the final stage, around 100 kilometers, which will decide the final positions of the championship. Al Attiyah's race strategy has been cautious, seeking to maintain his lead in the overall standings. On the other hand, Carlos Sainz and Lucas Moraes are in a close battle for third place.
The situation in Challenger shows Baciuska in an advantageous position to extend his lead, while in SSV, the withdrawal of Yasir Seaidan from MMP has altered the race dynamics.
The rally will conclude on April 7th, with the final stage and the award ceremony, being a decisive day for the competitors and the championship.
