Luis Mota and Alex Ramos in Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV won the first gravel event of the National Open of Rallys in Portugal, by only 0.5sec for the second classified.
With this victory, Luis Mota raises to 3th place in championship standings and now is 10 points behind the 2nd place.
The Competisport driver said at the end of the event:
It was not an easy win. The rally was well disputed, with several leading changes but in the end we manage to take victory. The car was flawless, and I have to thank the team for the great work they did.
Young Competisport driver Andre Mota was not so lucky:
For us the rally was a disaster. On the opening super special stage we lose a lot of time with a electrical problem and we did the last stage time. On the next day we start to push hard to recover lost time, but unfortunately on stage 5 we cut a corner too much and we hit a rock on the inside. After that, the car was really hard to drive, and we lost even more time.
Even so, we manage to get the 3th place on National Junior Championship and 11th on the Peugeot 206 cup.
With this result, Andre Mota and David Sousa are 2nd in the National Junior Championship standings and 6th on the Peugeot 206 Cup
