Baja TT Capital dos Vinhos de Portugal 2021: Nuno Matos back in action at Baja TT Capital dos Vinhos de Portugal

Readaptation test with focus on consistency 
Baja opens a month of intense activity for the team

Nuno Matos is back at the wheel of his FIAT Fullback Proto, from October 1st to 3rd, for the Baja TT Capital dos Vinhos de Portugal, the third round of the cross-country Portuguese Championship. 
A much desired return to action, after a four-month hiatus in the competition's calendar.

"Being back is a fantastic feeling, and soon for one of our favorite races, Reguengos. The nostalgia was already many, but we live in atypical times that naturally generate these understandable periods of longer stops", said the pilot, who is navigated by Joel Lutas.

As for the race, the goal will be to enjoy every kilometer behind the wheel of the FIAT Fullback Proto, reacquiring competition rhythm as the event unfolds.

"This long stop now forces us to readapt. Therefore, we will focus on doing our race, printing a consistent pace and taking advantage of being behind the wheel in a baja with fast and demanding sections, where we are always very appreciated by the public that has a great fervor for off-road, and to whom we are very grateful for all the support."

The Baja TT Capital dos Vinhos de Portugal, which contemplates a total of 356.30 kilometers divided by three Selective Sectors, marks the beginning of a month of intense competition to the chronometer, with the last three events of the championship separated only by 15 days.

"These will be very demanding weeks, which will require rigorous management of the mechanics and physique in order to be at the best level in each challenge and not compromise any participation. But, above all, it will be an incredible month", praised the pilot, who underlines: "I want to thank our sponsors for all their support and trust in our project, especially in such a demanding context as the one we are living in today. Thank you very much for everything."
