We are after the second special of Baja Portalegre. We drove very conservatively, because our task was to get to the finish line in one piece. We almost made it in one piece, because unfortunately the shock absorber broke and we drove without one shock absorber for about 40 km. But we drove so carefully that we managed to get there and we are very happy about it.
The whole season was quite difficult for us, because due to my health problems, unfortunately, we missed two rallies, which we could have scored better on. There was a very big competition here in Portugal. I don't know how many competitors started, but this competition is very big here. But anyway, we are happy that we finished this rally, I don't know exactly where are we in the class. Today it rained just before the start of the special, it was very slippery. We hooked up a little, one tree, but luckily only the plastics slightly deformed. However, technically the car was fully functional, apart from the shock absorber. What's next? I think that's all for now. We will continue to think and say our thoughts when something new comes to us.

We managed to finish the last stage of the Baja Portalegre 500. We are happy, despise we lost our rear diff at kilometer 30 or something like that. So we drove almost 150 kilometers without a rear diff. But we managed to finish with a quite decent pace as well. Sasha, our first time co-driving, so she did a quite good job. Almost no mistakes. I think we had some good luck with the weather. There wasn't much rain. The tracks were very dry as well. Some water. But normally it was okay. So I'm happy. We finished fifth in the class again, I think. I'm not sure.

— Well guys, it's over. We achieved our goal, which was to be the European champions of T4. It was difficult, a goal
that didn't come from the beginning of the year, or rather, since I started riding, which was exactly in the
beginning of the year, when I became European Junior Champion. It didn't go as we expected throughout the
year, but it ended up going as we wanted, it wouldn't be possible without the help of this great navigator who
is here by my side and a friend I've known for 8 years, maybe more. None of this would have been possible without the help of the whole Santag team. I would also like to thank my parents, who were always there and helped me with everything they could.
Today we had some problems, including we did the entire last special without front-wheel drive, we did only rear-wheel drive, in the rain, in the mud, which made it a little difficult for us to find any pace to show what we could achieve, but even so, we managed to maintain the distance to our direct concurrent and I congratulate him on the
incredible pace he had throughout the entire championship, especially this race, which came at a low point that is
outside his home, outside his natural habitat, so to speak, and to get second place in a special is very good. Yesterday we managed to gain an advantage, this morning we spun, in the afternoon we started, we were 50 meters ahead without 4wheel drive, it was 197 km on the mud, what helped - the experience I have of the race, knowing the terrain is obvious for me.

— Alfonso was incredible, with only 7 or 8 races in his life, doing a Portalegre in the rain, on the mud, only with 2wD, in a Polaris, I don't believe there are many who can do it. We drove until the end, we needed to push, and the car ran out of gas. We were lucky, our colleague from the Red Line who helped us, even though he was in the competition European cup with us, but he didn't hesitate to pull us, he broke the seat at the entrance of Parque Ferme, he came
back, pulled us, drove us until the end. These are things that stay for life, we didn't expect anyone to pull us. And without a doubt, if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be here celebrating now.
In the end, I only have three things to say. Alfonso did it, I managed to do all the races without a penalty, for lack of waypoints, or something like that. Santag, top, I don't want to disappoint anyone, maybe one of the best teams, if not the best of our championship, and one of the best in the world.

It was a very good race. I'm very glad that I participated in it. I would like to come again. Thank you for the perfume. I am very happy.

This time I didn't do very well. Yesterday, in the prologue and in the race, I was in first place, always leading, I was doing very well. Today I continued with the same confidence. Unfortunately, I had a fall that broke the cables in front of me, where the start was, so the bike didn't pick up. We tried everything, it didn't work. I had to move, try to get to the next assistance, there we managed to fix that.
Later on, the bike was just going down, slipping, it was with water in the air filter, and water also got into the sail, so it was impossible, and I was supposed to give up, it was very difficult, the bike was turning off, I wasn't even getting it, but I tried, I needed to finish. So I came here, I spent like 8 hours, but I arrived, I finished and it's about persistence, because this is very difficult.

Just finished Baja Portalegre in the best way possible. We knew that we were coming to a difficult race, especially with the weather forecast raining. But all the team made a good job to prepare the car for all the weather conditions, as we could see. I would say now the Toyota is swimming, so it's good. I'm really happy for Joao, I'm really happy for the team and I'm really happy for myself to get this victory. So we show up in Morocco, we had some days a little bit unlucky, but in this race we showed again that the potential is there and just looking forward for the next race and hope we can repeat the victory again. Thanks to everyone, thanks to the team and thanks for the trust in João and the family.
