Fernando Manuel Grilo Barreiro (PRT) #500, Isuzu D-Max, Stock group
Today our day started with a prologue in Badajoz, which went well for us. In the afternoon, we did a 100km sector which wasn't very long but was very tough. We had the second part of this sector within a military zone, which was very difficult for our car, as it's a Stock category car. We had to drive very slowly to ensure things went well, and thankfully, we managed to reach the end. This is how things go in the European championship; these races are slightly different, but our participation makes it so. Thank you, and see you tomorrow.

🎤Hello everybody, we finished the second stage on the second day, it's very difficult to open the piste, the track is very narrow, navigation too difficult, how many pistes in the notes is very short, but I think we were okay.

🎤It was finally a good stage for us. We have some question that beginning of the stage we have a lot of dust from Benelitas Vanagas. It was not his fault because he didn't get our Stella so I don't know why. We have been really close to him but he didn't catch. The first time he got the Stella he let us overtake two times. We have one puncture so that's why we overtake Vanagas for the second time. At the end it was quite good. We finished first so we are first overall. It was a tricky stage. A lot of navigation and some tricky places. We did small things but not really important. It was a good day for us at the end.

🎤It was a difficult stage for us, we found Dias changing the wheel, we followed him but a lot of dust, so we needed to stop and we lost a lot of time, meanwhile the other drivers came and we started fighting in the middle of the dust, we lost a lot of time, the pity.

Baja Extremadura 2024, Stage 2 (Challenger)
Things are getting more and more interesting in the lightweight prototype category. Santag Racing Team yesterday achieved great success at the start of the race (two first positions in SS1), but today the situation in the fight for the podium has changed.
On the morning Stage 2 (Alconchel special stage 169.52 km long), another Portuguese became the fastest - Rui Carneiro on a GRally OT3, who was more than two and a half minutes ahead of Alexandre Pinto (Can-Am Maverick X3).
João Dias on the GRally OT3 holds the lead in the overall Challenger category and is almost a minute ahead of his nearest rival. The most interesting was the battle for second position - before the final special stage, Rui Carneiro is ahead of Alexandre Pinto by only 0.6 seconds!
Spaniard Pau Navarro got off to a strong start to the final day in the new Demon Car DT3 prototype, finishing fourth in the SS4 and moving up to fifth position in the Challenger overall standings.

Benediktas Vanagas (LTU) #201 Toyota Gazoo Racing Baltics, Ultimate group.
🎤So, it seems like the second stage of Baja Extremadura was quite challenging for us. The run was more or less okay and the track was really demanding and quite difficult. We had a difficulty passing through one of the river places. Actually, we have a new system for air filter and we don't have a possibility to lock it from the water, so it should go somehow through, but it seems like it didn't work. So, we had an engine lock, so we lost like, I don't know, 40 minutes or something like that, but we managed to start the car. We managed to go to the finish and now through the service we will try to do everything so we can continue the last stage.
