Now we want more. We want not only to defend our lead in the European Cup but also to try to extend our advantage over our closest rivals. We know we are well positioned to do this, but races are always unpredictable, so we must stay focused every kilometer and try to maintain a comfortable pace that allows us to fight for victory here in Hungary. We\u2019re going all out for this race!\u201d<\/strong> assured the young driver from Leiria, who is co-driven by Filipe Palmeiro.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The Hungarian event kicks off on August 8, with the departure ceremony scheduled for 8 PM local time.
