• 440 participants registered for the entire race.

• 85 vehicles registered in the SSV category.

• 20 Polaris vehicles in SSV.

The final results were especially positive: Polaris achieved Polaris achieved podium finishes in every category in which it competed. The brand secured a one-two finish in the overall standings with two of its teams, while in SSV it took the top two positions.

This performance reinforces the Polaris RZR's position as a leading platform for those seeking to compete at the highest level in the world of off-roading. Polaris secures second and third place in the overall standings. One of the most outstanding results of the Baja Portalegre was Polaris's double podium finish in the overall standings. Gonçalo Guerreiro and Pablo Moreno secured second place, while Pedro Carvalho and Romeu Martin finished in third. Two results that placed Polaris among the main protagonists of the Portuguese race. Gonçalo Guerreiro's performance also had a particularly outstanding moment during the race, when he even led the provisional overall standings. Although they ultimately finished in second place, their performance demonstrated the team's competitive ability against participants in the various categories. Pedro Carvalho and Romeu Martin completed the podium with a third-place finish, confirming the excellent level of the Polaris teams throughout the competition.

In rally raid events, teams must maintain a high pace over long distances, manage changing terrain conditions, and rely on the reliability of their vehicles to complete each stage. The one-two finish in the FIA ​​T4 category, combined with the positions achieved in the overall standings, makes Polaris' participation one of the biggest successes of this 40th edition of the Baja Portalegre.

In a classification that brought together 85 participants, the brand's vehicles secured the top two positions. Gonçalo Guerra and Andre Lopes were crowned winners, while Pedro Pinha and Joaquim Dias finished in second place.

This one-two finish is a particularly significant result in a category with substantial participation and a high level of competition.

SSVs are designed to tackle demanding off-road terrain, combining dynamic capabilities, power, and versatility.

In a race like the Baja Portalegre, these qualities must be accompanied by precise driving and a good race strategy. The results obtained by the Polaris teams demonstrate the potential of their vehicles in this environment and reinforce the leading role of the RZR range in off-road competitions. Polaris 1-2-3 in the RZR Trophy If the double victory in SSV was noteworthy, the result in the RZR Trophy was even more resounding: Polaris took all three top positions on the podium.

Pedro Antunes and Nuno Batalha completed the podium, closing out a classification dominated entirely by Polaris teams.

This three-peat reflects the performance of the participants and the brand's presence in a category that brings together drivers and teams who rely on Polaris RZRs to face the challenges of off-road competition.
