Ricardo Teodósio will compete in the Rali Vinho da Madeira with one of the official Hyundai i20N rally2, with which he hopes to “most importantly, finish, which has not been easy this year. So far, we have only raced a rally in normal circumstances and I won. In Madeira, there is always something that goes wrong for us. Being so, I want to race this rally less fiercely. I have been facing many “shenanigans”, as there is always something that is less good. Nevertheless, I have the feeling that this will be a great year. I will try to do what I like and drive as fast as possible. Our car is excellent in tarmac, however, and comparing with the other Madeiran drivers, I will always have less knowledge on the roads. Still, it will be a great rally!”
Ricardo Teodósio, the driver from Algarve, is 46 years old and had his debut in rallies back in 2001, with a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo III. Known for his outstanding driving, he has already been behind the wheel of many models, having created his own “brand” with cars of the three diamonds’ brand and was Regional Champion in 2010 and 2011. He won his first National Rally Championship in 2018 with a Skoda Fabia R5, a vehicle that had its first sceptre in 2019. Nowadays, he is the National Champion in title.
