Victor Senra He does not drive a car, but a steamroller. the pilot of Forest, current Galician champion, started the defense of his crown heading the way to the seventh consecutive regional title. Yesterday it was done with A Corua rallythe first test of the Galician calendar, with one minute and fourteen seconds over Alberto Meiraand more than two and a half minutes ahead of Iago Caamao.

But the real distance between the hexacampen and his rivals was greater, based on the capacity of the bolt he rode yesterday: a Citron C3 WRC, intractable for any member of the parc fermé corus. With him he signed the fourth victory in the test that Senra calls home.

The day started with a mirage. The crowded public Aranga Bridge I saw how Alberto Meira performed in some complicated conditions, with a wet road in a section that asked the car for power. The second stage was a breather for everyone, but Senra began to come back, signing the first of seven consecutive scratch times for him. He took twenty-three and a half seconds from Meira, who had only imposed him by 191 thousandths in the previous chapter. The second pass of Coirs-Aranga it was hell for the drivers, unable to control their vehicles on the muddy and slippery asphalt. There were several spins (later some off-road came). The choice of tires based on the evolution of weather conditions was going to be key.


As Vctor Senra opened the gap, the dispute to occupy the other two positions on the podium was accentuated. In reality, Meira seemed consolidated in second place and it was the quartet made up of paco doradoIago Caamao, Luis Vilario and Roberto Blach the one who focused all eyes. The man from Lugo seemed a favorite, but he confessed that he was not comfortable. The cullerdense returned to the autonomic with the maximum concentration. The man from Palas de Rei did the same after having put down roots at Nacional, and the arteixn launched his Yaris at the pace of the world championship.

The sun came out, the tracks dried, the drivers left behind the long and tricky stages, and a new rally began for many. In this scenario, Caamao increased his difference with Paco Dorado and the delay at the start of section 6, due to the indisposition of a spectator, altered inertia. Although the second pass Arteixo Culleredo was a sure value for many, the final on the Encrobas lake Meirama It was a totum revolutum that the spectators probably enjoyed more than the athletes.

Fierce struggle in the cups, encouraged by local pilots

Once the fight for the first place was seen to be judged, the A Corua rally showed that it is the people’s race. The drivers from the Corus environment inflamed the masses, eager to see athletes pass by who, in general, do not lavish themselves in other rallies of the regional championship. It was then that the fight for victory in the promotion cups became more interesting.

Putting aside the R5 Recalvi y Pirelli Driver Autia Top Ten A (which went to Alberto Meira), the Pirelli AMF MS was one of the tightest as it ended in a pulse between Alvaro Pérez and Juan Carlos Pampilln (which I gave up by nine seconds). Roberto Blach took with solvency the Pirelli Driver Autia Top Ten B and the Gara N5 Pirelli; y Manuel Soutothe C.

The pull of the A Corua rally continues its unstoppable rise

Pablo Gomez Cundns

The rally of A Corua begins to breathe airs of greatness. One of the star events in the regional star of a country passionate about road competitions has been a few years, pandemic aside, breaking attendance records in the gutters. This edition also experienced an extraordinary atmosphere in the vicinity of Mara Pita on Friday and in the work park of Vo ayer.

boedo It was once again the epicenter of the passion for gasoline, with the solids throwing their noses towards the frying pan that avoids the passage through the mythical roundabout. The applause accompanied Víctor Senra’s Citron C3 WRC, intensified with a loud ovation as soon as the roar of Manuel Senra’s Peugeot 306 Maxi Kit Car, Tarolo, was heard, and returned with the more modest categories, in which the pilots toasted some oversteer to the fans basking in the sun on the grass on the side of the road.
