Eric Camilli first retirement at Rally Portugal

The bad luck that has so often struck Eric Camilli in the past has once again befallen him. For his 3^e appearance this season as part of this competition reserved for cars in the Rally2 category, he did not have the opportunity to cover a single meter of racing. Author of a good shakedown Thursday morning (7^e time), the 35-year-old Frenchman could be one of the hosts of this round. However, his Citroën C3 did not want to start in the parc ferme where it was quietly waiting before the Coimbra super special. An electrical problem is believed to be the cause of the breakdown. The first stage being composed of 9 ES, Camilli should have received 90 minutes of penalty which made the continuation of the stage completely useless. rally. The Sainteloc crew was therefore the first to appear on the list of abandonments. Having not scored a point in Monte-Carlo, the driver from Nice recorded a second goalless result which greatly compromised his chances in the championship.
