Miguel Campos/António Costa were the best Portuguese crew at Rally de Portugal, 5th round of CNR, but they didn’t take champ’ship points. With Fontes accident and the absences of Barros and Vieira, Pedro Meireles drove this event in cruising mode and managed to be the first CNR scorer. He now leads the series just 5 pts more than Fontes, 6 than Barros and 12 than Vieira (a rally win values 25 pts). Teodósio won Gr.N and Antunes was the best 2wd; both extended their class leads at the series.
