Argentinean Federico Villagra is hoping to build on his consistent form this season with another steady performance at the forthcoming Vodafone Rally de Portugal.
The Munchi’s Ford World Rally team driver has shown promise so far in 2010 with four consecutive points finishes, and has his sights set on a fifth when he tackles the 335km of tricky gravel in the Algarve next week.
After finishing the 2009 Rally de Portugal in a season’s best of 7th, Villagra and his co-driver Jorge Pérez Companc will be looking to push their Ford Focus RS WRC even harder this year on the 18 technical stages, in an effort to leapfrog their closest rival, Henning Solberg, who is just two points ahead of the duo in the championship drivers’ standings.
“Last time I was in Portugal it was a good rally for me but the rally is difficult with a lot of technical stages”, said Villagra, “We weren’t able to find the right speed and I had to drive slower than I wanted to but I am hoping that this year I will be able to find the right rhythm early on. I feel like I am steadily improving this year and have made no major mistakes so I just look forward to another steady performance in Portugal.”
