Portugal : MacHale WRT - PreviewMacHale World Rally Team duo Gareth MacHale and Paul Nagle take to the gravel stages of Rally Portugal this week as the fifth round of the WRC gets underway.
“We're really looking forward to getting out onto these new stages,” said
MacHale. “Mexico was a good primer for us on how the car handles on gravel, so we'll use that experience and aim to finish the event as high in the rankings as we can."
"We're happy how things are going this year, putting in good performances in our three events to date this season and we want to build on that as the season progresses.”
The team finished as top privateers on the opening round of the Championships in Monte Carlo, but a broken track arm on Rally Mexico two weeks ago whilst holding a secure ninth overall position in the rankings ruled them out of points contention on that event. They also secured a second place finish in the Galway International Rally in February.
