INTRODUCTION / WELCOME
Dear friends,
After a remarkable event last year, I would like to welcome all of you to the 27th Baja
Portalegre 500, organised by Automóvel Club de Portugal.
Behind us stands more than a quarter of a century of unparalleled history, with a track
record which includes the best international riders and drivers, thus assigning this event
with a credibility which only the most prestigious competitions can achieve.
ACP has continuously sought to increase the sources of interest of its events, never sparing efforts so that,
year after year, the sportive and organisational levels of a reference event in the world of cross country, as is
the Baja Portalegre 500, can achieve a paramount level of visibility.
ACP’s constant commitment places the Baja Portalegre 500, once again, on the calendars of the FIA World Cup
for Cross Country Rallies of the International Automobile Federation (FIA), as well as of the World Cup of Bajas
of the International Federation of Motorcycling (FIM), championships which see their seasons come to an end,
once more, with our event. This is a fact that stresses not only the international projection of the competition,
but which will also bring to Portugal the greatest international names of cross country racing.
It is with this spirit, and thinking about the future, that ACP opens the event to the younger ones for the third
year in a row, with another edition of the Mini Baja. This is a competition thought for those who are giving the
first steps of their two-wheel career in off-road, an opportunity not only to gain important experience, but
also to shine before their own idols. At the same time, and as is the case in other ACP events, the Baja
Portalegre 500 embraces FIA Action for Road Safety’s commitment to reduce road deaths globally.
We must also thank our sponsors – Portalegre City Council, BP and Hertz – as well as the collaboration of the
City Councils of Abrantes, Alter do Chão, Avis, Crato, Fronteira, Gavião, Nisa, Ponte de Sôr and Sousel, and, for
the first time this year, Alentejo Tourism, through QREN (National Strategic Reference Framework) and the EU
support.
We also count on the collaboration of the National Guard (GNR), the Fire Brigade of Portalegre District, and
the local councils of Amieira do Tejo, Chança, Cunheira, Monte da Pedra, Sousel and Tolosa, as well as on the
support of Ibermedia, IGEO, SNB, Termas da Fadagosa de Nisa, Federação Portuguesa de Caçadores, Fonte
Viva, Rádio Portalegre (104,5) and the newspaper A Bola.
We are further grateful for the support of all the members of the organisation. Special thanks are due to
landowners for the support given by allowing the race to cross their estates. This collaboration is the secret of
our success and the reason for the longevity of this race.
For all these reasons, we expect we can welcome you among us for the 27th Baja Portalegre 500.
.

HISTORY
Brief History of the Event
The Baja of Portalegre was the first cross country event held in Portugal, in June 1987, based in Portalegre city.
In fact, Clube Aventura, headed by José Megre, an ex-Dakar Rally driver, had this event in mind since 1983,
but it took him almost four years to materialize the idea, since he had to get the help and authorization from
the local authorities. Dr. Miranda Calha, today a member of Parliament and, at that time Minister of Sports,
was behind this idea.
100 cars and more than 100 bikes entered the first Baja Portalegre, at that time called Rali Maratona de
Portalegre and sponsored by Finicisa.
The event was run on a circuit of 350 km to be done twice with no stops. Heavy rains and mud made the event
a remarkable challenge for cars and bikes.
The second and third edition, were held on the following two years, where entries and mud conditions
doubled. On the memorable 4 th edition in 1989, there were 250 cars and 450 bikes but only 10% of the
competitors finished! It was really amazing, besides the conditions!
Since the first year, bikes were represented by many international riders, even the best of them, who came
from around the world just to join Portalegre. From Serge Bacou, Thierry Charbonnier, Gilles Lalay, Stephane
Peterhansel, David Castera, Cyril Esquirol, Richard Sainct, Alain Perez, Thierry Magnaldi, and many others have
participated in this event.
But only in 1995 and 1996, foreigner riders reached the podium, as it was the case of Richard Sainct and Alain
Perez.

1989
The event was run on a single lap of 500 km, under the name – 500 km Cerveja Sagres
Portalegre.
1990
On the bikes, the race changed to one rider per bike. Entries rose to 250 cars and 450
bikes and an identical figure was run on the following three years!
1997
11ª Baja Galp 500 Portalegre – The event gets a new sponsor and, due to heavy rain, it

DISCOVER PORTALEGRE
The Northern Alentejo - Portalegre - is almost a mythic region, a region where time is time. Reality lies here,
waiting to be unveiled, in the endless plains and mountains, in the water that entertains and cures, in the
great open spaces of nature or in those built by man both for ancient wars and for peace. Authenticity lies
here, in the nobility that our ancestors lent to the stones of the dolmens and menhirs, to the armorial bearing
of the manor houses and to the unique flavours generated in secret in the ancient convents and wineries. The
truth also lies here, in the festival and the fair, in the music, the dancing and in the local art, where tradition is
maintained.
The city of Portalegre, with about 16000 inhabitants, grew up mainly from the 16th century on, moment when
Portalegre became town and bishopric. Also the economic progress, result of the agriculture, trade and
industry, took some noble and bourgeois families to the new town, where they built houses with some charm
and greatness.
The places to visit are open every day, except Mondays; the schedules are similar (9h30 -12h30 /14h – 18h).
