23rd Carballo Autocross 2026: schedule, drivers and entry deadline

The 23rd Carballo Autocross will take place on Saturday, 12 September 2026 at the Bértoa Municipal Circuit, one of the best-known dirt racing venues in Galician motorsport. The event arrives at a crucial stage of the Xunta de Galicia autocross championship, with 62 drivers confirmed when the entry deadline was announced.

Expect a full day of close racing, changing grip levels and the short, explosive heats that make autocross one of the most exciting forms of grassroots motorsport to watch trackside.

Entry deadline and official presentation

Entries will close on Wednesday, 9 September at 1:00 pm through the Galician Automobile Federation. At the same time, the event will be officially presented at the Carballo Town Council.

With championship points becoming increasingly valuable, Carballo will be a key round before the next scheduled event in Santa Comba on 26 September. Starts, traction off the clean line and consistency in traffic can be decisive when every heat affects the route to the finals.
