Last weekend took place the 4th and last rd for Spanish 1:8 On Road in Club Arca (Madrid)
Merlin Team Driver, Oscar Cabezas took the victory, TQ and overall Championship.
Óscar dominated the race from the early beginning, being the only driver able to set 18 laps in the recently renewed Arca Track. Moreover he won the 4 classifying heats.
However the Main final, was not as easy as the final result shows. Óscar had a flame out in the first laps, that made him change the strategy and even run out of fuel in the middle of the final. Nevertheless, his pace was so strong and consistent that he could keep the 1st position until the the final flag.
With this Victory, Óscar claims the absolute title, after 2 victories and 2 second places. It was a challenge for Oscar to win again the Nat Championship after having changed his car and engine. (Motonica – Novarossi). So after some adaptation time he is again on top.
Josué Artiles, has finished on 2nd in both, the last race and the overall championship. In fact, both them, Oscar and Josue have finished the regular season with the same figure; 1.893 points. However Oscar’s worst classification was a 2nd while Artiles worst was a 3rd. This fact gives an idea about the tight fight between both drivers that has been constant in recent years.
The Top 10 Result:
1. Óscar Cabezas (Motonica/Novarossi/Merlin Fuel) 146 laps – 45:12.388
