Diogo Gago, just started racing 3 years ago! First year he got ups and downs, won the last race in the Fastbravo (Seat Marbella) trophee! In 2011 was the man to beat in the Fastbravos, won 4 out of 5 events in tarmac (his favorite surface) and 2 out of 4 in gravel! Last year he switch to the Modelstand Cup and dominate like no other the Championship! 6 wins out of 7 events(2nd in the one he didn't win), but only 6 goes to the classification so he score top points all year long! He finish 1st in the 2RM category and 2nd in the Junior behind a guy that drives a Lancer Evo VI Gr.A. In the last rally in his hometown he drove a C2 R2Max to 2nd overall in the stormy, foggy and rain conditions!

I know all this because we started racing the same year (i'm a codriver) and allways on the same cups! Really nice guy, and very fast, due to his mental strengh! In Portugal recces are free, you do as much as passes you want, but Diogo only passes twice like in WRC even if he knowed that he was learning less the stage than other guys! Trust the co-driver that is one of the best here, and the notes!

Hope you're enjoying see him go, I know I am, and believe that he will be faster next times out (he only tested friday night a few km)

Cheers

Looks like Charles Martin is setting great times again! Another young talented driver to keep an eye on in the next couple of years... Regarding his experience he is doing really great, if his name was Sébastien he would be a future world champion.

for sure Martin is the revelation of this beginning of season in France ! Great times in the Touquet, great again here ... I wish him all the best !
