Oscar Cabezas Campeón de España 2010



Ayer Domingo, se disputaba la última prueba puntuable para el Cto. de España 1/8 Pista en el circuito del Club Arca en Alcobendas (Madrid).

Las apuestas para el campeonato 2010, se centraban en Carlos Peracho, que corría en casa y Nacho López.  Oscar Cabezas tenía pocas posibilidades, puesto que necesitaba, al menos ganar la carrera y que estos dos pilotos quedaran en 4ªposición.

Oscar ejerció con autoridad su rol de vigente campeón, adjudicándose las 4 mangas de clasificación y logrando la Pole, seguido de Carlos Peracho y Nacho López.

1. Oscar Cabezas Motonica – Nova – Merlin Fuel – 24 L – 7:00.435
2. Carlos Peracho – Velox – IDM – 24 L – 7:07.175

The second round of this years BRCA 1/8th circuit national championship was located at the famous Wombwell circuit, which is part of a large Karting complex. This track is loved by all the drivers since it contains a combination of slow and fast flowing corners which is a joy to drive when driven on the edge. The weather forecast did not look too good for Sunday, but thankfully it was a dry weekend. With time restrictions in place due to the noise levels, the Committee decided to run open practice with a lunch break. This made the track at times very congested with a lot of fast cars easily catching up the slower cars and damage was inevitable.

The main issue happened mid afternoon when Richard Boult accidentally tripped and fell onto the main straight whilst marshaling a team mates car and was hit on the leg by defending champion Tim Wood which total destroyed his car. The result was an immediate halt to the practice session

El buen tiempo, seco y soleado, acompañó la prueba. Óscar Cabezas, marcó el ritmo de las clasificatorias, seguido por Nacho López y Sergio Montesinos.

La final ha sido una de las más bonitas de los últimos tiempos con una lucha increíble entre el actual campeón de España Oscar Cabezas con su Motonica-Novarossi-Merlin y el valenciano Nacho López con su nuevo Serpent. La táctica, el pilotaje y algunos ingredientes en forma de pequeños problemas y un engrasamiento del motor de Oscar determinaron un resultado final apretadísimo, venciendo la prueba Oscar y cruzando después Nacho a sólo dos segundos. Los diez minutos finales fueron de infarto principalmente para los que estábamos en el pit lane. La tercera posición ha sido para el madrileño  Sergio Montesinos que pasó a sólo dos segundos de Nacho. Una final muy emocionante de las que hacen

A really interesting and exciting race were Ilia Van Gsatel made his first race as Merlin Team Driver.

Robin D’Hondt has written this text for us:

«Hey Everybody,

The second round of the Netherlands championship was held at the fast track of Rucphen. Weather forecast looked good, we only had a bit of rain on Friday night, which made training on Saturday morning impossible, but for the rest of the weekend the dark clouds would stay away from the track.

On Saturday afternoon I came on track and the setup felt pretty nice to begin with. I didn’t changed anything at first because I wanted more grip to come, so in the late afternoon I only started changing some small things like down stops, front springs and rear arm positions.

The later it got, the faster everyone went and soon we were with 5-6 people driving lap times in or close to 13.0 (track record 12.8 I was told).

On Sunday morning the

The first round of the Netherlands championship was held at the track of Apeldoorn. Weather forecast wasn’t looking good, however it was dry on Saturday rain came on Sunday to bring an interesting scene in the final.

My arrival at the track on Saturday was much later as I wanted it to be due to traffic. I wanted to test many things but in the end I only had 2 hours of testing to make a good setup. The day before I setuped my car with the setup I think would of worked on the track (small track so high droop, much camber change, much offset) and … it worked !

With some minor adjustments to the car I was driving the same laptimes like John Ermen and Rick Vrielinck. So, happy with the cars performance but still having idea’s to make it better we had to call it a day because after 17 o’clock no engines can be started anymore.

Sunday morning it all looked rather wet, apparently it rained at night but with the sky
