Before the start of the season, Veloso
Motorsport’s Francisco Mora was one of
the drivers who were expected to be
fighting for the title. However, a series
of issues in the first two events at
Braga and Vila Real frustrated all his
efforts.
In the latest race meeting at Portimão,
Mora finally was able to make up for
the early letdowns and won all four
races of the weekend in dominant
fashion, despite strong competition
from José Rodrigues in the first three
races and Manuel Gião in Race 4.
This string of victories has enabled
Mora to climb to second in the
standings, only four points behind the
pairing of Francisco Carvalho/Nuno
Batista. But, the fight is closer than
ever, with Rodrigues and César
Machado/Rafael Lobato lying in third
and fourth, a further ten points adrift,
while Gião/Francisco Abreu are fifth,
with a gap of 25 points.
