With the TAURUS T3 MAX, the duo dominated the weekend race
Tiago Reis, alongside co-driver Paulo Fiúza, won the Greece Baja, a round of both the FIA World Cup and European Cup for Cross Country Bajas. Driving a TAURUS T3 MAX in the T3 category, the pair outperformed the competition throughout the event, which took place from Friday, May 30, to Sunday, June 1, in the Argos Orestiko region of Greece.
Reis and Fiúza started strong by winning the Prologue and never relinquished the lead throughout the rally, which featured five Selective Sections totaling around 580 kilometers of timed stages. “We came here with a clear goal—to win the T3 category—but as we’ve shown in other events, this car is extremely competitive and capable of fighting for overall victories, which is exactly what we did here,” said Tiago Reis at the end of the race.
The driver from Vila Nova de Famalicão is making a committed push this year in the FIA European Cup for Cross Country Bajas in the T3 category, and in Greece, he secured the maximum number of points toward the championship. “It was a very positive result for us—the TAURUS was flawless and Paulo was perfect with navigation. When everything aligns like this, we’ve proven to be a very strong team,” the driver added.
In Greece, Reis and Fiúza won the Prologue and four of the five remaining timed Selective Sections. “We pushed hard throughout the event, maintained our pace, and steadily built a lead over the competition. In the end, we took both the overall and category wins, which is extremely satisfying,” concluded Tiago Reis.
Their next race, also counting toward the FIA European Cup for Cross Country Bajas, will be the Baja Italy, held from July 3 to 5.
