This victory, is a great starting point for this season to defend his 2007 Champion Title.

A tricky race with rain for the whole weekend. This is what Robin is reporting;

“The first round of the Belgian Championship was held at the rather small and very technical track of Houthalen (Limburg). Weather forecast was not as a normal racer would want it to be …

Many rain on Sunday they said so I prepared some rain tires for this weekend and a second radio plate also for the rain.

On Saturday morning I was the first man on the track racing, trying to get my car between the bars so fast and smooth as possible. The first laps were good but not fast enough, the back of the car was a bit loose and in some corners I wanted some more steering. The first

Efra Lyon _ Merlin Rc Fuel Podium Borja HernándezThe Efra Buggy GP took place last week in Lyon (France). After heavy rain during the week, Saturday was a beautiful sunny day.

Heating was dominated by Yannick & Jerôme Aigoin, Jerôme Sartel and Jorn Neuman with his Serpent prototype.

Our Team Driver, Borja Hernández was improving until reaching the B half-finals where he found Alex Calatayud, and some strong French Drivers, such as Jérôme Sartel or Jérôme Aigoin.

The track was already dry but it was rapidly degrading , because of the hard rain during the week.

 

Borja managed to finish 3rd in his half-final, reaching the Final access just ahead Jérôme Sartel, maybe a final premonition.

 

Right in the main Final, Borja run 2nd behind Renaud Saboya over 20 minutes. Then he was overtaken in a pit stop by Jérôme Aigoin.

 

After 30 minutes, Borja was 5th qualified behind the favorites group. However they were all running it the same lap.

Efra Lyon _ Merlin Rc Fuel Podium Borja HernándezHoy Domingo, ha concluido el GP Efra celebrado en Lyon. La lluvia constante durante toda la semana dio paso el Sábado a un tiempo más propicio para la celebración del GP.

 

Las mangas fueron dominadas el Sábado por Yannick y Jerôme Aigoin, Jerôme Sartel y Jorn Neuman con su prototipo Serpent. Nuestro Team Driver, Borja Hernández fue subiendo posiciones a lo largo del fin de semana, hasta clasificarse para la Semi final B, donde se encontró también con Alex Calatayud y algunos de los nombres ilustres del Todo Terreno Francés, como Jérôme Sartel ó Jérôme Aigoin.

 

La pista estaba seca, sin embargo se degradaba con facilidad, a causa de la lluvia caída durante toda la semana.

 

Borja, consiguió terminar tercero en su semi-final, logrando de este modo el acceso a la final justo por delante de Jérôme Sartel, tal vez una premonición para la final.
