Furthermore, the star driver has gained a lot of mileage under tough conditions during testing with the Borgward BX7 EVO and was continuously able to improve the set up of the car. "We saw yesterday at the press conference in Paris that the 2020 Dakar will have an amazing route and scenery. We are very happy that the rally is on this side of the world. Hopefully the interest in the region for the Dakar will grow and, who knows, we might have the Dakar here in Kuwait." said Nani Roma in the presentation in Kuwait.
Ricardo Porém is the new asset to the Borgward Rally Team. The Portuguese finished 5th in the Baja Portalegre 500. During the race he showed great speed. "Everything is new to me. The first time in a car in the most important category, T1. The first time I have a teammate who has won the Dakar and who brings a lot of very valuable experience. The first Dakar with my brother alongside me. I am very happy to be part of the Borgward Rally Team," said Ricardo Porém during the presentation in Kuwait.
The two Borgward BX7 EVO's (#301 for Nani Roma and #332 for Ricardo Porém) are in the final assembly process. The cars have been disassembled completely by the Borgward Rally Team
