Fundraising campaign to support Pedro to participate in the next rally, aiming to fight for the championship.
At the moment in 2nd place in the Madeira Rally Campenato and without sponsors that guarantee participation in the next round of CRM, it would be a waste to throw away the opportunity to fight for the championship as well as all efforts that have already been put together to participate in both first rallies of the time.
As it is too expensive sport, it is not feasible for the driver or his family to support the whole cause for óbvios financial reasons. If we can all help together with whatever is possible, it will certainly be a good solution to this problem, and another step taken towards the fight for the absolute title.
-Do not forget that if the target of 16000 euros is not reached, each donation will be returned to the donor.
-The signatures of the 30 donors who help with the greatest amount will be collected, in order to be an integral part of the car decoration.
-The two people who support the cause with the greatest amount of financial resources, and if it is not an anonymous donation, will be awarded a co drive in the tests prior to the Rally.
About the author
Brief rally career summary.
Beginning in June 2016 at the Santa Cruz rally and navigated by Hugo Magalhães in a Toyota Yaris, knowledge about rallies and navigation methods was passed, as well as note scoring systems, in order to start with good bases for the future. In this first rally after already leading the class, a problem appeared in the gearbox that forced them to give up.
Among some rallies made and a few more months later he ended up acquiring a Renault clio R3 where for two consecutive years he won the CRM 2rodas motives, rc3 and Júnior, and won the young revelation award attributed by AMAK.
One of the happiest moments of his career was the trip to the Algarve in 2017 with the clio, thus making his first participation outside Madeira. He found himself off the island discussing the 2RM rally with driver Diogo Gago, at the time in his resident rally. However, in this rally, the result of two errors in two qualifying sessions in a row, he lost some time to Diogo, but the victory was left in RC3 and the runner-up in the 2RM against a very strong driver in that rally.
-2018, year of debut with an r5 vehicle in the Machico rally where he started to win the first two sections against drivers that were always his references, undoubtedly a very happy moment that made him shed tears of emotion and happiness that day. Unfortunately also in the last section of that rally, when it was in 3rd position, the car, due to an electrical fault, shut down.
This was followed by the RVM, which was racing and once again against very strong international and regional national drivers, in the last km timed when it was 4th classified in the general and second ranked in terms of drivers for the national championship, with only José Pedro Fontes in front of him, A fire in the car brought water that would be a brilliant result in his second race with a car of the category R5.
Even so, he was champion in rc3 and 2RM that year and as a sponsor's prize he went to the Skoda Fabia R5 Algarve.
When he was in third place classified absolute, a driving error dictated the abandonment in that race.
Finally, in 2019, a 3rd place in the CRM where he won sections and broke records of regional classifiers.
3 Years of rallies where growth as a driver was notorious in the eyes of all, lacking, as the slang says, "a lucky star" from time to time.
