The TGR Iberian Cup ready for the sierra morena rallye, second meeting of the championship.

Bruno Bulacia and Gabriel Morales, from the CSM Automoció team, start as leaders after their victory in the first race in Portugal. Behind, Josep Bassas (IPPON Motor Vallés), second classified in Fafe and six points behind the Bolivian driver, aims to close the gap and make his experience in the promotion cups count. Javi Villa (Asturhíbrido), third in the championship (16 points), will be looking for his first victory with the Toyota GR Yaris RZ Cup, on a terrain where he was very competitive last season. It should not be forgotten that the Asturian driver has won ten Spanish Hillclimb Championship titles, the last one in 2023.

Behind, José Lamela and Unai Conde (Breogán Group) will try to repeat the excellent result achieved in the first race, despite the fact that they will have many rivals who will make it very difficult for them.

Ricardo Costa and Rui Vilaça (Macedo & Macedo GTW Racing), despite dropping out in Fafe, won three stages and therefore scored 3 points. They will be other contenders for the podium, as will Miguel Campos and Joana Silva (Macedo & Macedo GTW Racing), who won two stages (2 points) and will also want to make up for their retirement. Meanwhile, Pedro Lago and Marco Macedo (Toyota Caetano Auto) are much more adapted to the Toyota GR Yaris RZ Cup, as evidenced by the fact that they scored their first scratch in the TGR Iberian Cup, in Fafe.

The list of entrants is closed by Carlos Rodríguez – Jesús Nieto (Breogán Group), José Carlos Mulero – Carlos Martínez (Labasa), Manuel Martins-Rui Vilaça and Javier Moltó – Daniel Rivera, who will run a rally for the first time and will do so with the Kobe Motor unit.

The event consists of 14 timed sections, totaling 196 kilometers, divided into two stages. On Saturday, April 6, eight stages will be run, including the longest of the event (Villaviciosa-Grupo Peña, 28 km long), and on Sunday, April 7, the remaining six will be run. The weather will once again be an unknown, as the first day is expected to be sunny, while for the second there is a forecast of rain, albeit intermittent. The ceremonial start will take place on Friday, April 5, in the center of Cordoba, where a massive turnout is expected, as this is one of the most prestigious events in Spain.
