Prominent triumph in the world of rally
The Vigatà Albert Orriols, accompanied by Xavier Moreno, has achieved a new success in the Rally of the Baix Empordà, consolidating his position as a favorite to validate the title of Champion of Catalonia asphalt. With his Skoda Fabia Rally 2 Evo, Orriols dominated the competition, winning four of the eight timed stretches of the test.
Intense competition until the end
The competition was fierce, with Anton Forné and Daniel Muntadas in his wake, also with a Skoda Fabia Evo. Forné managed to overcome Orriols in three of the four sections of the second half of the rally, leaving the final standings with a tight difference of only 4 seconds and 9 tenths.
Performance of vehicles
The dominance of the Skoda became apparent, occupying seven of the top ten in the general classification. Only two Peugeot and a Renault managed to stand among the first, highlighting the upper performance of the Czech brand vehicles.
Future perspectives for Orriols
With this victory, Orriols reaffirms his aspiration to maintain his hegemony in the Catalan Asphalt Championship, where he already holds four titles. Its recent victory in the city of Valls has increased its expectations for its next competition.
The strategic decision
For the Baix Empordà rally, Orriols had considered using a Skoda Fabia S2000, a historic vehicle that had been piloted by expert Jan Kopecky. However, he chose to reserve this model for a future exhibition at the Rally Festival Haznayo 2025, thus highlighting his long -term strategy.
The scenarios of the rally
The competition took place in emblematic sections such as the Angels, Santa Pellaia, Sant Grau and La Ganga, who challenged the pilots with their demanding conditions. The beauty of the Empordà landscape served as a backdrop for an intense and exciting competition.
