Great rally for Teodósio and Barbosa as well. And Antunes (he will be in ERC) is on a different level on the 2wd category
Great start of the CPR season! As expected, Sordo delivered a first class show and the rest of the field was also at a good level. Guys like Teodósio, Barbosa, Moura and Armindo in the CPR or Antunes, Nunes, Monarri and Reyes in the 208 Cup were slightly ahead of the pack but many others, including the spectacular Heller brothers or young R5 drivers like Almeida, Correia or Pardo, also deserves to be named.
At the end, 2 entertaining rally days on Fafe fabulous stages in the company of a great group of people, as rally also is the perfect occasion to gather old friends. Next CPR event will be Azores Rally.

Estúpido is actually an understatement for such an asshole. After South America, Spain and Australia cases, it seems this behaviour is becoming global and has nothing to do with Rally: this is a brainless act of a self-entitled ‘bravery’ (although in this case the moron is laid down on a 2 feet high gravel bank), motivated by the need of a permanent social media exposure at any kind or risk. Besides reporting to authorities we also should avoid posting this kind of photos; that's the best way to stop feeding these animals...Quote:

By the series rules, crews can only run a max of 8 events (counting the 7 best results). They usually skip one of the most expensives (Açores.Portugal or Madeira).
3rd round of the CPR, Rali de Mortágua will be run this weekend on the forests of Mortágua region. Entry list: http://www.ralidemortagua.pt/inscritos.html

Fontes was pretty near to give Sports&You a dream weekend after Lopez win in Canarias; he was leading in Mortágua on a huge figth with Teodósio, Barbosa and Araújo but crashed with 2 stages to go. Teodósio/Teixeira won their second rally of the season and are now leading the series. Nunes won 2wd category with a 208 and Carvalho was the best N4 on an Evo IX.

Rally de Portugal was the 4th event of the CPR; Araújo (i20) totally dominated the national field, winning in front of Magalhães (i20) on the first 1-2 of Hyundai Portugal. A 10s penalty and gearbox issues didn’t allow Teodósio (Fabia) to end better than P3, ahead of Almeida, Salvi and Dias (all in Fabia). Lots of problems for Fontes (C3), that was only P7. Title contender Barbosa (Fabia) abandoned on SS1 while Meireles (Polo) unfortunately lost his car to a fire; fingers crossed for his quick return. Teodósio is still leading the series, ahead of Araújo and Magalhães. Nunes (208) is leading 2wd category.

Third Rali Vinho Madeira win in a row for Camacho/Calado! The local Fabia crew dominated the event despite a hard fight with Lopez (one of the foreign crews present) during first leg. Basso was also there but never close to the lead, fighting with Magalhães (finally showing a good pace on the i20) for P3 untill a touch on a barrier forced him to retire. CPR main contenders were a bit away, with Araújo being P7 and Teodósio P12, after lots of issues; nevertheless he’s still leading the series ahead of Araújo and Magalhães, which is now also a title candidate.
Rali Vinho Madeira – Top 10:
1. Alexandre Camacho/Pedro Calado - Skoda Fabia R5; 2:12:39.1

Yep, congrats to Fontes, Pontes and Sports&You for their first CPR win of the season. Fair to say it wasn’t easy as Hyundai Portugal drivers gave Fontes a hard figth. After Aboboreira Magalhães is now P2 in the series just 5 points behind Teodósio and 10 in front of his team mate Araújo; they all got fine chances to become CPR champions and the last 2 events are looking to be epic.Quote:

Rallye Vidreiro, CPR penultimate round, starts tomorrow evening on Marinha Grande fast tarmac stages with the title figth wide open between Teodósio (private Fabia) and Hyundai Portugal drivers, Araújo and Magalhães. Fontes (C3) is also expected to figth for the rally win, but his title chances are slim and so are those of Barbosa (Fabia).

Gutted for not being there to watch this epic battle between Fontes and Teodósio; they’ve swap the lead all rally long and eventually Fontes won by just 0.6s! Magalhães was P3 and is now Teodósio main title contender. Nice P4 for Meireles in the Polo ahead of Araújo, who's still in the title fight. Antunes (Clio R3T) won 2wd category and is already the champ. Congrats to all!

Btw, hat off for Ricardo Teodósio; despite managing to figh for the win all rally long, Teodósio was in a real bad shape after a big PET crash; he bravely run with two damaged ribs and eventually extended his CPR leadership. It was later told that Eric Camilli was the passenger on that troubled test although, fortunately, he didn't suffer any injury. Camilli has been here a few times providing tech advices to local drivers.

One of these crews will become the new Portuguese rally champions this weekend on CPR last round, Rallye Casinos do Algarve. Teodósio is strongly trying to get his first CPR title and will debut a Fabia Evo on his home rally; Magalhães and Araújo on the i20’s are still hoping to get one more title on their large CPR accounts (Bruno has 3, Armindo 5); Fontes has only mathematical chances but is on a peak form after winning the last two rounds in the C3. Fabia’s drivers from Madeira island Camacho and Paixão are, alongside Meireles in the Polo, serious contenders for the rally win and can bring some extra excitement to the title battle. First leg starts Friday afternoon.

After last year near miss, this time nothing prevent Teodósio of finally getting his first CPR title! Huge congrats to him, co-driver Teixeira and ARC team, besides Teodósio familiy and his devoted fans, always supportive througth the years. Btw, Teodósio also managed to get a fiancée on this rally, after asking his GF to marry him on the final podium; well done !)
The event was won by Magalhães, with Teodósio always close and Fontes showing a strong pace in the initial stages, before crashing during 2nd leg. Camacho end as P3, ahead of the previous champ Araújo, a bit discreet on this year CPR tarmac events. Marcelino won 2wd category on a Clio R3 while Mota (Evo VI) became the Historic champ and Marreiros (Evo IX) is the new South Region champ. Congrats to all!

CPR 2020 Calendar
Fafe (Gravel)

Mortágua (Gravel)
Rali de Portugal (Gravel)
Amarante (Gravel instead this year tarmac)
------------------------------------------
Madeira (Tarmac)
Castelo Branco (Tarmac)
Vidreiro (Tarmac)
Alto Tâmega (Tarmac, NEW)
Algarve (Tarmac)
With inclusion of Alto Tâmega, increased to 10 rounds, but same regs (nomeation of 8 rounds to points, counts 7 better).
For me just too many rounds...
No more Hyundai Portugal or Armindo decided to change technic?
No more Armindo at Hyundai. Rumor says that the Hyundai team might be Bruno Magalhães and Pedro Antunes
Suzuki Ibérica in 2 Portugues Rallys with the new Swift R4lly S (Rali Serras de Fafe and Castelo Branco).
Also in Portugal Rally (WRC)
https://www.laregion.es/articulo/mas...641920500.html
Gil Antunes with Dacia Sandero R4 in Portuguese Rally Championship. No first round for him, working on the rest of the champ
Besides Araújo in the Fabia, all last year main contenders are already confirmed for 2020 CPR: Teodósio (Fabia), Magalhães (i20), Fontes (C3) and Meireles (Polo). Others top crews can also be announced soon, at least for the major events. For Rali Serras de Fafe, besides Tanak and Sordo on the WRC’s we’re still hopefully expecting a Yaris from TGR and a couple of WRC2/3 entrants. It’d be a brilliant season start!

Is Magalhães really confirmed with Hyundai? His former codriver Hugo will be co-driving Pedro Almeida in R2 car, so I thought maybe Bruno Magalhães doesn't have a program anymore...Quote:

On his former co-driver Hugo, the new partnership wit Almeida may be seen as a long term bet. Almeida is a talented and well sponsored 22 years driver wishing to develop his career abroad; already this season he’ll run some ERC rallys, besides the 208 Iberica Cup and the 2wd national series, on a total of 16 events.Quote:
