The 57 Rallye Rías Baixas, which takes place from July 4 to 6, is the fifth scoring event and the third on asphalt within the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Iberian Cup, the one-make cup organized by Toyota Spain, Toyota Caetano Auto and MSI. This year, the Galician rally returns to the top of Spanish motorsport, since it was last held in 2015, and marks the halfway point in the season.

Bruno Bulacia (CSM Automoció) arrives at this rally as the outstanding leader (91 points), after having climbed to the top of the podium in Lisbon. This victory was his first win on tarmac in the TGR Iberian Cup, a surface on which he had not been as comfortable as on gravel. Therefore, in Galicia he is once again a clear favorite for the final victory. Javi Villa (Asturhíbrido), after the setback in Lisbon, where he had to retire in the first stage, is currently in second position, 20 points behind the leader (71 points), and will try to close the gap in this rally to remain in the running for the title. Miguel Campos (Macedo & Macedo GTW Racing), who finished second in the Portuguese event, is only 11 points behind the Asturian driver (60 points).

Pedro Lago (Toyota Caetano Auto), fourth in Lisbon, and Josep Bassas (IPPON Motor Vallés), who finished third in Portugal, are in a close fight for the fourth position in the overall classification, only 5 points apart. Both drivers are closely followed by José Lamela (Breogán Group), who is 4 points behind Bassas and 9 points behind the Portuguese driver.

Manuel Martins, José Mulero (Labasa) and Iván Raña (Breogán Group) close the list of registered drivers. Raña, famous Olympic triathlete and world champion in this speciality, will be competing in his second rally with the GR Yaris RZ in the TGR Iberian Cup, after having made his debut in Lisbon.

The rally has 124.68 timed kilometers, divided into 10 special stages and two stages. The protocol start is scheduled for Thursday, prior to the race starting on Friday afternoon and finishing on Saturday, at 20:00 hours.
