Leading the category

Martim Nunes is making his debut in Rali da Madeira and intends to finish. “I made my rally debut in Calheta and, unfortunately, I didn't make it to the finish line. Our goal is to lead the category. However, this is a very competitive class, the competition is very strong and in this rally it will be even greater, with all the drivers coming from the Portuguese Championship. As I am taking my first steps in this sport, the rally could be quite challenging as it is long and I have no experience in this field with changing weather conditions”.

The driver is 30 years old and has built a long career in karting, a sport in which he has won numerous titles and successes. His debut in competition cars took place in 2023, when he competed in a hill climb with a Citroën C2 R2, repeating the experience the following year with a Peugeot 208 R2. His rally debut came a few weeks ago with a Peugeot 208 Rally4, with which he stood out, setting very good times in his group and running among the leaders until he had to retire with transmission problems.
