Dani Sordo turns attention to Rally de Portugal after Canarias outing

Dani Sordo has shifted his focus to the Vodafone Rally de Portugal following his return to the i20 N Rally1 at Rally Islas Canarias. Although the Spaniard finished seventh, he viewed the event as a vital opportunity to reintegrate with the Hyundai machinery and team personnel. While the asphalt performance proved challenging, Sordo remains optimistic about his pace and contribution to the manufacturer's upcoming gravel campaigns.

Hyundai Sporting Director Andrew Wheatley praised Sordo's presence, highlighting the veteran's smooth driving style and the fresh perspective he brings to technical meetings. The team believes this experience will be instrumental as they look to improve their competitiveness on loose surfaces.

Sordo maintains high ambitions for Portugal, a venue where he has historically excelled with multiple podium finishes. Having spent time familiarizing himself with the car’s setup in a competitive environment, he is now set to undertake a gravel test to prepare for the rally, with the clear objective of challenging for a top-three result.
