The season continues in April with a round in Hungary, followed by early May in Portugal at the Lousada circuit, well-known for its use as a spectator stage in Rally Portugal.

In late May and early June, a round will be held on a street circuit in Great Britain. A couple of weeks later, the series heads to Finland’s Kymiring circuit, which recently secured a 3+2-year agreement with the World Rallycross Championship.
