Rally dos Sertões 2023: Day "zero" indicates that Sertões 2023 will be one of the most competitive in history for the car category
Team X Rally Team puts Prodrive Hunter T1+ by Marcos Baumgart at the top of the Petrolina Prologue timetable
In their 25th Sertões, the X Rally team accelerated strongly in the Prodrive Hunter T1+ and finished the 13 km Prologue with Marcos Baumgart and Kleber Cincea as fastest and Cristian Baumgarte and Beco Andreotti with the third best time. The Prologue sets the starting order of the first stage and ranks the eight fastest to the Super Prime contest, in closed circuit in the system of duels, semi-finals, and finals.
In their 25th Sertons, the X Rally team accelerated strongly in the Prodrive Hunter T1+ and finished the Prologue with Marcos and Cristian Baumgart and Kleber Cincea as the fastest and Christian Baumhart and Beco Andreotti with the third best time.
"The Prologue and Super Prime are separate parties, which only measure the heart and the desire to accelerate. We missed a little bit, almost, but we went well in the Prologue. Now it is to focus to the end with a lot of grasp and willingness to win", said Marcos Baumgart.
For Cristian, who in 22 years of partnership with Beco won four Sertões titles (2016, 2017, 2018 and 2021), Super Prime served to show the power of the Prodrive Hunter T1+ to the public.
"We made a very good Prologue and ended with the third best time, with Marcos first. Super Prime is different, it's a show for the audience, and that contact is very cool. And it was good to start the adrenaline of the fight, which this year will be very intense", said the four-time winner of the Sertões Rally.
