The national rally championship is once again made up of 8 events, but in 2023 there was the departure of the Azores Rallye and the entry of the Casinos do Algarve Rally on dirt surfaces. So far, the rallies Fafe, Felgueiras, Cabreira and Boticas, Casinos do Algarve, Terras d'Aboboreira and de Portugal, which embodied the dirt stage, and, more recently, Castelo Branco, already on tarmac, have been held. Vinho Madeira, Água - Alto Tâmega and Vidreiro Centro de Portugal rallies are still to be completed.

The competition was initially led by Craig Breen, who won the opening race but then dropped out in the Algarve. In the south of the country, the "home driver" Ricardo Teodósio won and in Amarante it was Kris Meeke, replacing the late Craig Breen in Hyundai Portugal, who won. The Briton won again in Castelo Branco, but in the WRC race in Portugal the best was Armindo Araújo.

Miguel Correia is leading the championship after three second places, a fourth and a sixth. Following him more closely is Teodósio, who, in addition to the victory in the Algarve, has climbed the podium twice more and was fourth in the last event. José Pedro Fontes is third with consecutive positions between fourth and sixth place and a podium finish in the only tarmac rally so far. Armindo Araújo continues in fourth position in a season so far marked by a serious accident in the opening race of the season.
