Dernière journée du Rallye Raid du Portugal, normalement une formalité. 100km de spéciale autour de Loulé avant le grand final de l'arrivée!
#W2RC #RallyRaidPortugal
La 4ème étape nous approche de la fin et si Daniel Sanders conserve la tête, c'est Tosha Schareina qui remporte l'étape pour revenir à 1min25 du leader!
Journée un peu plus difficile en Rally 2 pour Bruno Santos, 4ème du jour. Martim Ventura en profite et revient a 9min.
