Program

The programme of the event follows that of the last edition.

The technical and administrative checks will take place on Thursday morning, while in the afternoon the prologue will start to determine the starting order of the next day.

On Friday and Saturday, there will be a full immersion in the race and on Sunday the last events will take place in the morning with the prize-giving ceremony in the afternoon.

The course

In order to establish a provisional classification at the end of each day, the organisation has changed the formula of the race. In previous years there were four groups of teams that only completed the circuits at the end of the competition, which made it impossible to have a complete provisional classification at the end of each day.

In the new formula, there will be two groups: one group will compete in the morning in the first sector and at the same time the other group will compete in the second sector; in the afternoon the zones of the two groups will be reversed. Thus, at the end of the day, everyone will have covered both zones and the organisation will be able to establish a daily ranking. Three starts will be set up in the two zones to separate the vehicles and three timed events.
