During the Jaén Mar de Olivos TT Rally, Mónica Plaza and Marta Plaza paid an official and technical visit to the Santana Factory in Linares, strengthening the bond between the competition, the brand, and its historic industrial headquarters. During the visit, they were able to see the current state of the plant, which already has a production line ready for the Santana 400, while a second production line for future models is under development.
Mónica and Marta Plaza were officially received at the Linares City Hall by Mayor Auxi del Olmo and the municipal government team, who conveyed their support to the team before the start of the competition.
Mónica Plaza: "It has been very exciting to see a modern, well-equipped factory with a promising future in a place with such a rich automotive history as Linares. We feel a great responsibility and pride in representing Santana and all the people of Linares in the competition."
Marta Plaza: "The warmth and support we've received both at the factory and at the City Hall give us extra motivation to compete. It's an honor to be part of a project that connects the past, present, and future of such an iconic brand."
Outstanding performance at the Jaén TT Rally
The Santana Racing Team led the T1 category for much of the event with the Santana SUV T1, demonstrating good pace and the ability to fight for the top positions. The team was forced to retire on the final stage, highlighting the project's potential.
