🏁🌧️ Dia 2 da Baja Cuenca
Hoje a chuva foi a convidada especial… ou talvez não tão especial assim 😅 Um dia duro, com condições difíceis, muita lama e um percurso bastante exigente.
Ainda assim, conseguimos manter um bom ritmo e uma classificação que promete luta até ao último quilómetro amanhã. 💪🚗🔥

⏩Hello everybody, Maria here and Rosa,
⏩After Dakar will be our first race together, it will be my second time here in Baja Cuenca, but my first time with this big car, so I think it will be quite a challenge in these technical areas, but let's see how it goes, we are a little bit anxious because of the rain, but let's see how it goes.
⏩For me, it's my first time here in Cuenca, so I did all the Spanish championships for many years, but I've never been in Cuenca. But I know it's a challenging one. It will be for sure. Technical terrain, but we'll do it.
⏩We will do it. We like challenges together.
⏩The last race for me was Carta Rallye in Morocco. So it was really challenging, kind of half a Dakar. So it went really good. I did fourth overall, just behind big sharks on these meadows. So I'm very happy. We were the first four-wheel drive car. So what could I have better? So I like the desert. I like the dunes. It was a big opportunity. But now here in Cuenca it's a really different track, so it will be a big challenge as well.
MY TEAM
