Tom Banks/McKlein Photography: Viera do Minho, a stage of Rally Portugal, features undulating roads and landscape scattered with large, round granite boulders.
Having never shot this area myself, we hitched a ride up the mountainside to a remote stretch with the local 4x4 club - an experience in itself. After scouting various vantage points I settled in the valley and awaited the cars. As Adrien Fourmaux blasted into view, the fans delivered a perfectly timed wave of the Portuguese flag - complemented by the arrival of the low-flying TV helicopter.
It is one of those moments when everything aligns.
