Overview

  • Suárez secured his third Recalvi Rally Rías Baixas title, replicating his victories from 2021 and 2023.
  • He overturned Javier Pardo’s 4.4-second first-day lead by sweeping all eight special stages on day two.
  • Javier Pardo finished second overall, followed by Pepe López in third driving a Hyundai i20N.
  • A crash by Juan Manuel Freiría and Adrián Salgueiro’s BMW 325i sparked a brush fire and led to the cancellation of the second Ponte Caldelas–Barbudo stage.
  • Organizers combined traditional mountain asphalt routes with a new urban Vigo stage and virtual chicanes that produced multiple driver errors now under review.
