Peugeot Sport Portugal is leaving rally from 2012 - AutoSport.CZ
This is very sad news, but i guess it was somehow to be expected considering the situation in Portugal. Nevertheless it is pitty that after such a long involvement in the sport Peugeot Portugal is now stopping, especially pitty for Bruno Magalhaes. I am afraid that it might not be the last team that we won't see in next year's championship.Quote:

It was since 1996 the only brand at the official level, and without interruption, in the course of the rally in Portugal.
In 16 years of competition, the Peugeot Sport Portugal took part in 148 rallies, got 55 wins and climbed the podium 91 times. Pilots won seven titles and 6 marks in the national championship 12 times, besides being the only team to clinch the Portuguese vice champion in the European Rally Championship. The Peugeot Portugal expressed the greatest gratitude to Carlos Barros and his team, all co-pilots and pilots who were with us, the sponsors and all the fans who followed us throughout these 16 years.
