Good performance of the MINI JCW Rally Plus in two countries

X-raid was represented at two events this weekend: the Italian Baja in Italy and the Cierzo Rally in Spain. Joao Ferreira and Filipe Palmeiro won two of the three special stages and the prologue at the Italian Baja, the second round of the FIA European Baja Cup. A technical problem on Saturday morning had prevented them from fighting for overall victory. The two Portuguese still secured important points for the championship with their seventh-place finish. In Spain, Pau Navarro and Jan Rose were on a very good path in the X-raid 1000R Turbo Side-by-Side. However, a a defect in the drive train stopped the two Spaniards prematurely. Maria Luis Gameiro, on the other hand, attracted attention. The Portuguese, who competed in the X-raid partner team M Racing, secured second place overall in the MINI JCW Rally Plus together with her co-pilot Jose Marques.
