Fighting for victory is difficult

Alexandre Camacho is driving a Hyundai i20N Rally2 in Rali da Madeira and intends to "improve on the performance we had in Calheta. In that rally, we fell far short of expectations, and we have to be more competitive, further ahead than we achieved in the race. Therefore, we can't set a specific goal or position, but I think it will be very difficult to fight for victory. We improved the car in testing and will give our best. However, this year we will have many drivers with competitive cars. In Madeira, we already have three drivers fighting for the lead, and this rally will also feature CPR drivers and very strong foreign drivers..."

The driver, navigated by Pedro Calado, is 45 years old and his first rally took place in 2001 in a Toyota Yaris. He won the FIA European Rally Trophy in 2018 and has been a regional champion seven times: in 2008 and 2009 with a Peugeot 207 S2000, in 2015 in a Porsche 997 GT3, in 2017 in a Peugeot 208 T16, in 2018 and 2019 driving a Skoda Fabia R5, and in 2023 using a Skoda Fabia Rally2 Evo. With six wins, he holds the record for most victories in Rali da Madeira.
