João Ferreira at the Baja TT Lagos to fight for victory

João Ferreira and Filipe Palmeiro are back in the Portuguese Cross-Country Championship. After being absent from the Baja TT Montes Alentejanos and winning the national competition at Rally Raid Portugal, the duo will be present in Lagos to fight for victory in a race that promises to be challenging for everyone due to its novelty. Behind the wheel of the Mini JCW T1+ from X-Raid, the driver from Leiria aims to be in contention for the National Championship title, with the objective of reclaiming the title he achieved in 2022.

“We will be at the Baja TT Lagos with well-defined goals. After being absent from the first race of the season, we are at a disadvantage compared to our closest competitors. We know that our car will be competitive, and in a new race for everyone, we will strive to be in the fight for victory to recover some points in the Championship,” stated the young driver from Leiria, before explaining the reasons for his return to the CPTT: “This is a super-competitive championship that allows us to operate at a high level and stay active. Our program for the season is extensive, and with Repsol joining our project, along with our use of the brand's 100% renewable fuels, it makes perfect sense to participate in national competitions to demonstrate that we are competitive and striving for victories.”

The Baja TT Lagos, the third round of the Portugal Cross-Country Championship, will take place from Friday to Sunday in the Barlavento region of the Algarve.
