Portugal final results

In the last day there was no fight for the lead. The first 6 just drove carefully to Figueira da Foz.

In the Group N, Trelles did an impressive drive to get to first, beating his teammate, Stohl. To did this he drove very fast, winning the last stage (this means, beating Makinen, Madeira, etc... who where in Group A)!

In F2, Adruzilo Lopes had some problems with his car (rear axle broke twice), and anyway he was only interested in being the best Portuguese (that gives so many points for the Portuguese championship and as his adversaries for the championship were all out he almost won it already).

So Lopes drove very slowly the last day and was passed by Allister McRae, who won in F2.
