In 2010, Bernardo participated at Bombarral, Viana do Castelo
and Portimão races, but misses the Santo André race (budget
restrictions).
Gain experience on the track, in direct competition with
experienced pilots, with financial restrictions… that was a real
challenge !

In a total of 16 pilots who scored the Rotax Challenge, with limited
resources and with evidence bad luck (crashed by other when in
4th place, problems with pipe petrol when in 6th, crashed by
other when in 2nd place), he finnished the Trophy in 9th place.
But the grab for “revenge” remained ! In 2011, who
