Racing without pressure

Vítor Sá makes his debut behind the wheel of a Peugeot 208 Rally4 in Rali Vinho da Madeira. In these circumstances, "we'll first see what the car is worth because I don't know it and I've never driven it. I will only discover the car, from the Enjolras team, at the shakedown and, in the race, I will try to get to know the car metre by metre. I know it's a model with potential but first we'll have to adapt it and improve it to our style. In this rally I will also have a new co-driver, Victor Calado. Despite so much novelty, we chose to be in the Peugeot Iberian Rally Cup because we thought we should be part of this competition so disputed. However, given the constraints, I will race without any pressure regarding results".

Winner of the Rali Vinho da Madeira in 2004 with a Peugeot 306 Maxi, Vítor Sá is 58 years old and his debut in rallies took place in 1988 with a Renault 5 GT Turbo. He has been behind the wheel of models such as Toyota Corolla GT, Toyota Celica GT-Four, Ford Sierra Cosworth, Ford Escort RS Cosworth, Opel Corsa A GSi, Renault Clio Williams, Renault Mégane Maxi, Subaru Impreza 555, Subaru Impreza S5 WRC, Peugeot 306 Maxi, Peugeot 206 S1600, Renault Clio S1600, Fiat Punto S2000, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X, Peugeot 207 S2000 and, for the last five years, Citroën DS3 R3T. In addition to numerous class titles, he was absolute regional champion on 11 occasions, in 1992, between 1999 and 2007 and in 2011.
