Miguel Nunes’ balance of this season is “very positive. We won two races and are on the fight for the championship, still undecided. We have been improving in every race we run and, it is basing on that work that we want to dispute the top places at this Rally Vinho Madeira. It is a challenge to reach victory, since the enrollment list is quite good, with very strong pilots. The race is quite long and anything might happen. After one or two classifying legs we will have a better notion of our potential, since there are five or six pilots very well positioned for victory”.

Miguel Nunes is 38 years old and debuted in motor-racing back in 2005 at the wheel of a Citroën C2. With a career that is marked by various pauses, the pilot conquered countless victories in his own class, in single-brand competitions and at the absolute level. He was the Madeira Rally Champion in 2010, 2012 and 2014. This year, at the wheel of a Hyundai i20 R5, he won in Machico and Ribeira Brava and is, currently, the second classified in the Championship.
