The 2022 Lusorecursos World RX of Portugal was the fourth and fifth round of the ninth season of the FIA World Rallycross Championship. The event was double-header (two races in a weekend) held at the new configuration of Pista Automóvel de Montalegre in Montalegre, Vila Real. Montalegre’s layout has been re-profiled this year, with the old joker lap now the first corner and a new, gravel joker from Turns Two to Five.
