Behind them, a wide list of teams will seek the podium, including drivers with Porsche 997 GT3 Cup, Ford Fiesta R5, and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX.
Other specialists in the discipline, such as a driver with a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX, another with a SEAT León Supercopa, and a third with a BMW M3 E36, have not wanted to miss the event. Newcomers to the island are also expected, such as a Ford RS 200 and a Citroën Xsara Kit Car. The sport regularity modality will add more than a dozen teams, with two of them in low average, highlighting vehicles such as the Volkswagen Golf GTI MKII and the Volkswagen Golf MKI, along with other classics such as the BMW 635 CSI and the BMW 320.
