Rally de Portugal - torsdag - SS1
Torsdagens program i Rally de Portugal bestod kun af en specialprøve, det galdt den helt nybyggede superspecialprøve Estadio Algarve på 2300 meter, hvor Ford køreren Marcus Grönholm var suverænt hurtigst.

De to nærmeste konkurrenter var over to sekunder fra Grönholms tid på den korte stadionbane der havde tiltrukket mere end 20.000 tilskuere, det giver ham et godt udgangspunkt inden fredagens seks specialprøver.
På anden og tredje pladserne kom de to Citroën kørere Daniel Sordo og Sebastien Loeb.
