Interesting ideia. The 2WD cup (and probably the N4 too) just count in the continental events. I like it.
The ideia about the cups, it's not to separate the champ, but to have something more to race for. Drivers seem to like the Regional Tarmac and Gravel champs.

About the new 2WD, maybe just new cars, not drivers... even if one of them will come from the Northern Regional. About the N4, if everything goes according to the drivers planing, we'll probably get two fast Center Regional drivers and a Madeira one

And today I heard something curious enough to got me making questions. It's known that Pascoal wanted a Porsche, and he sold his Evo7 to Carlos Vieira(will be his recce car) that had his Porsche for sale. Maybe they did an exchange. It would be great to see Pascoal in the Porsche. Maybe that away he can beat Peres in the new car he his suppose to be having soon :P

Tommorow starts "Rallye Casinos do Algarve", last round of CNR (portuguese rally champ). Close fights between Fontes (DS3 R5) and Moura (Fiesta R5) for the overall title, plus Cid (Clio S1600) and Ruivo (Clio R3) for the 2wd title, are expected. A good number of competitive cars and drivers, but a very short entry list at this season's final event, that will return to some of the great southern gravel roads, well knowned to those that use to come in for Portugal WRC Rally.

Lots of suspense at last CNR event!
The title was moving from Fontes (DS3) to Moura (Fiesta) during Algarve Rally but Fontes, despite Moura clear win, manage to get 2nd at the end, becoming 2015 Portuguese rally champ (his 1st rally title after several in circuit racing).
Congrats to Fontes/Ramalho and Citroën for the win and also to the vice champs, Moura/Costa.
2015 2wd champs are Cid/Silva (Clio S1600), beating Ruivo/Peixoto (Clio R3) by only 1 point! Congrats to all of them.
Besides the title fights, great rally perfs from exGT racing driver Vieira (Fiesta), that lead on 1st day, and the ERC junior driver Gago (208R2), faster 2wd until getting a puncture.
Now a long break, til March, for the promising 2016 CNR start.
