For the second year running, there is a healthy entry of international and WRC regulars. Of most interest is the return to competitive driving of Markko Märtin, partnered by David Senior. In addition to Märtin, 2005 event winner Daniel Carlsson will also be taking part, as will young Finn Janne Touhino. Further, Sweden’s Patrik Flodin and Markko Märtin’s young protégé, Martin Rauam will also compete. All these drivers will be at the wheel of identical Group N Subaru Imprezas, providing a genuine battle over the fast and flowing gravel stages.
Upholding the local honours will be 2005 third-placed driver, Armindo Araújo in a Gp N Mitsubishi Lancer Evo8, as well as Fernando Peres in similar machinery and Miguel Campos in the Subaru Impreza WRX.
In the two-wheel drive category, Junior World Rally Championship regular Urmo Aava will be at the wheel of the Suzuki Swift S1600. However, he will face stiff competition from the local Renault and Peugeot works drivers, José Pedro Fontes and Bruno Magalhães, respectively.
WRC regular and 2005 event S1600 winner Dani Sordo will be in Portugal again, this time driving the ‘0’ car, a Citroen Xsara World Rally Car. His job will be two-fold: check the stages for safety prior to the field starting and validating the stages themselves at World Rally Car speeds for future reference.
The event begins with a ceremonial start on the evening of Thursday 16th March at the Vilamoura Marina, before two full days of action over the stages to the north of Faro. The field will return to the finish, at the impressive Algarve Stadium, which hosts the service park, on Saturday afternoon, at 17.45 local. Portugal is GMT.
