Baja TT Capital dos Vinhos de Portugal 2021: Tiago Reis (Toyota) wins the Baja TT Capital dos Vinhos de Portugal

Tiago Reis, navigated by Válter Cardoso, driving a Toyota Hilux was the great winner of the 33rd edition of Baja TT Capital dos Vinhos de Portugal, which once again took place under the aegis of the Sociedade Reguenguense's Motor Sports Section on tracks in the municipalities of Reguengos de Monsaraz, Redondo and Évora.

Dominating the race from start to finish, with the exception of the prologue, Tiago Reis reinforced the leadership of the AM48 Cross-Country Portugal Championship, which already belonged to him

"I'm very happy because it's very positive to have a victory here for the championship, which gives us a great advantage. The race was fantastic, it's always well organized and is one of my favorites. The track today was in worse condition, but we had enough of an advantage to manage the race and didn't have to take any big risks. So we are very happy. This victory is for my mechanics who worked 24 hours to get the van ready, so this victory is theirs", revealed Tiago Reis.

Second place for the duo Alejandro Martins/José Marques in Mini John Cooper Works Rally that repeated the same classification obtained in 2020. André Amaral, navigated by Nélson Ramos in a Ford Ranger, climbed to the third position, already at the end of the race, and with this result he became anticipated Iberian champion, having also triumphed in the Terras Grande Lago do Alqueva Trophy.
