In 1992, Pepe Amau came in as the Repsol Team head, replacing Francchino Tunzi –chief mechanic for Vilarino for almost six seasons. With new aerodynamics for the aging Lola T298, Vilarino managed to win six races that year: Rechberg, Falperra, Jaizkibel, Mecsek, Ecce Homo, Sestriere and Les Rangiers. He set seven new records for a twelve–race season. Egozkue took third place behind Stenger.
The 1993 season was also strong in terms of isolated results, as Vilarino took three wins at Rechberg, Andorra and Les Rangiers and set another five absolute records. However, a series of problems in various races saw him miss out on the title to Egozkue as he crashed out at the final round in El Fito.
Obliged to renew materials, the Repsol Team opted for a new Norma chassis developed in France, but which proved to be inadequate for hill climb competition. The Ford Cosworth engine produced by Mader proved to be too cumbersome, and was soon replaced by a conventional BMW motor. Vilariño was only able to win in Santo Emilianio and at the St. Ursanne–Les Rangiers, and was dissatisfied at the end of the season as Egozkue clinched his second title. The Repsol Team would subsequently withdraw from European competition.
