After successfully completing his fourth participation in the Dakar Rally and the first in Saudi Arabia, Miguel Barbosa, eight times national cross-country champion, will start the 2nd edition of the BP Ultimate Baja TT ACP, competition that the driver won in 2020. Sailed by Pedro Velosa and at the controls of the Toyota with which he participated in the Dakar, the pilot is enthusiastic about this return to competition.

"There were two months without competing after the Dakar and I really missed it. We are going back to a race which, as is ACP's style, will have all the ingredients to be an excellent competition. I like some characteristics that make it different from the other national races, with more navigation and sandy tracks. The competition is very strong as seen in the opening race of the championship, but we'll be focused on our performance and we'll try, as always, to give our best. We are focused on making a good race, we have a good machine and we want to enjoy a race that promises to be very interesting", said BP Ultimate Vodafone Team's driver.

The 2nd edition of Baja TT ACP will take place between March 17th and 20th in the tracks of Grândola and Santiago do Cacém. In terms of sports, the competition will start on Saturday, March 19th with the Prologue, which will have 7 kilometers and a Selective Sector with 90km of chronometer. On Sunday there will be a second Selective Sector with 170km of timed kilometers. The race in Alentejo will have a total of 352 km.
