Fernando Barreiros will compete, between August 10 and 12 in the 20th edition of Baja da Hungria, a competition for the FIA Cross Country Bajas European Cup, with the main objective of reclaiming the leadership it initially occupied in the T2 category.
The current Iberian champion and national champion of all-terrain in the T2 category, who will debut in this Hungarian competition, remains very focused on the conquest of the European title from Bajas and believes that he can repeat in Hungary the good results achieved in the Spanish and Greek stages. Fernando Barreiros advances to this Hungarian journey very motivated and with the great expectation of bringing to Portugal another good ranking.
In addition to the Hungarian track debut, the great novelty of Loures’ participation in Hungarian Baja is the presence of young navigator David Monteiro in the seat on the right side of the Isuzu D-Max T2: "The car is very well prepared, and we are also in shape. It's a debut for me, and I hope to get a good result. We are in the fight for the championship, and we will try to improve our position. I have the news that David is with me. He is a young but experienced navigator and has already been to Hungary last year, and so I think it can be of great help to me as it is a race that I don't know. This year is going to be very positive and full of different challenges. I know that Hungary will be a difficult test, but we are here to try to do the best possible," said the driver of the Isuzu D-Max, prepared and assisted by Prolama.
The Baja of Hungary is held from August 10 to 12, with the town of Várpalota as the headquarters. The event will begin on Thursday, August 10th, with a Shakedown following the departure ceremony. The prologue is played on Friday morning in Tesi Hill, north of Varpalota. On the same day, the competitors complete two selective sections of 110 km. On Saturday, two selective sections of 123 km will be competed. A total of approximately 460 km will be traveled.
