Kajto: ‘Portugal win better than Croatia’
Kajto Kajetanowicz rates Sunday’s Vodafone Rally de Portugal WRC3 victory as one of his best – but admits he still has work to do to match the fastest Rally2 cars in the FIA World Rally Championship.
The Škoda Fabia driver edged series leader Yohan Rossel in a thrilling battle for victory at the Matosinhos-based event to climb to second in the points.
Kajetanowicz’s Portuguese success came on the back of a Croatia Rally victory last month, but Sunday’s win was special, given that it was his debut on Europe’s westernmost WRC round.
