Video: Carlos Sainz with the Peugeot 208 T16 at Fafe

Twice winner of the Rally of Portugal in 1991 with the Toyota Celica GT-Four and in 1995 with the Subaru Impreza, Carlos Sainz had started in WRC in 1987 on the Lusitanian event.

The double Spanish world champion, who was commentating on the 2017 edition last weekend for RedBull TV, was able to take the wheel of the Peugeot 208 T16 R5 on the route of the legendary Fafe special, co-driven by his teammate during his WRC years Luis Moya.

“It’s a great opportunity that was offered to me by Red Bull and Peugeot, a very exciting challenge and the opportunity to reunite with the big rally family, explains El Matador. The Fafe special has changed a lot, the reference points are no longer the same.

We recalled our memories with Luis during the reconnaissance. We had a lot of fun! Junior Pepe Lopez came to watch how I was driving his Peugeot 208 T16. I wish him the best for the rest of the season. ERC »
