Spanish Championship 1:8 Onroad 1st Rd.

The opening round of the Spanish 1/8th scale National series was held last weekend at Club Pical Track in Valladolid. The race saw over 70 drivers registered.

The sunny weather all along the weekend let the drivers enjoy a nice racing weekend.

Sergio Montesinos got the TQ during classifications, followed by Victor González, Oscar Cabezas and current Champion Josué Artiles.

Oscar Cabezas had to fight against the clock to set up his brand new Motonica P81, received a few days before the race. The fastest cars (Oscar Cabezas and Josué Artlies)  recorded 104 km/h in the main straight during the A-Final.

Josue Arrtiles and Óscar Cabezas took the first and second position in the very first laps of the main final and the set a peace that none else could follow.

Both them were very close but the tire changing stop was faster for Josue Artiles, who won a few seconds to allow him to face the rest of the race with some  advantage.

We saw an interesting fight for the third place involving three drivers. Finally, former Spanish Champion, Victor González got the third place ahead Nacho López and Sergio Montesinos.

It seems that this season will be exciting and a close fight until the end of the Championship is expected.
