Se ha disputado la 4ª prueba del cto. Holandés de 1/8 TT en Friesland. Este circuito está completamente hecho en hierba artificial.

La nota predominante de la primera jornada fue el fuerte viento que hacía muy complicado volver a posar el coche tras los saltos que se convirtió posteriormente en lluvia.

La prueba disputada en el Circuito de Alhaurín de la Torre (Málaga) daba el pistoletazo de salida a la temporada 2012  del Cto. España 1/8 TT.

90 pilotos viajaron hasta Málaga, con la vista puesta en la predicción del tiempo. Finalmente la meteorología dio un respiro y «sólo» aguó literalmente la 3ª manga clasificatoria.

En lo estrictamente deportivo, Robert Batlle fue el dominador de la prueba, logrando la pole y una incontestable victoria.
