Batlle had a trouble in A-Semifinal, and had to fight to keep a 4th place. Finally he got the «5» for the final. Quite unsual for the lastest years.

On A-Final Dani Vega took the lead for the first laps with a close fight with behind for the second place between Ignacio Candel and Andrés Marcelino.

Batlle had to wait 29 laps to get the first position, that was kept until the end of the Race. Daniel Vega crashed against a rolled car in the double jump, saying goodbye to his chance in the race.

With this victory (3/3) Robert Batlle secures 2012 Championship. Congratulations!!!

The 3rd Round for Spanish 1/8 Onroad NAts, took place in Vigo (Northwest Spain) last weekend.

Drivers were not happy on Friday due to the rain. saturday was expected as a rainy day again. However, before the afternoon, the sun finally appeared to dry the track and let the race go.

Oscar Cabezas TQ’ed for this race making over 10 TQ’s in a row in the Spanish Championship.

1. Oscar Cabezas – Motonica / Vox / Merlin Fuel
2. Víctor González Kyosho / OS
3. Carlos Peracho
4. Nacho López Serpent / Max Power

The final was really disputed. In the very first laps, Oscar realizaed that he had not the proper engine tunning, having a rich carburation. So that he decided to have a conservative fuel strategy, what made him refuel twice more than his direct rivals.

Eventhough he managed to do most of the final in 1-2nd position.

The last lap he was on second position, and right in this lap, Nacho López who was first, felt a lack of fuel in his Serpent, and had to make a «pass trough

Se ha celebrado la segunda del Nacional de Pista 1/8 y Oscar ha conseguido vencer la prueba, hacer la Pole-Position, vuelta rápida y nuevo récord de la pista dejándolo en 17 segundos y 405 centésimas. Oscar logró batir también el récord absoluto de la pista en clasificatorias dando 24 vueltas en 7 minutos 9 segundos y 575 centésimas.

PICT7731

Las clasificatorias como ha ocurrido en las carreras durante los últimos años han sido para Oscar, el “dueño de la Pole”, nadie es capaz de batirlo.

En la final, la primera parte fue un duelo entre el Motonica-Vox de Oscar Cabezas y el Serpent de Nacho López aunque siempre lideró la carrera Oscar, después del cambio de ruedas el segundo clasificado tiene un problema mecánico que le retrasa lo suficiente para que la segunda parte de la prueba sea un paseo triunfal para el piloto de Motonica-Merlin Fuel hasta la bajada de la bandera ajedrezada que sacó cinco vueltas al segundo clasificado.

Last Sunday the Cerdanyola Modelcar Track, near Barcelona, held the 1st round of the Spanish 1:10 200mm. Championship. The event drew 84 drivers ready to open 2009 season.
Xabier Arana TQ’ed, followed by Rodrigo Pahissa, Iñaky Pahissa and Johnny Pastor, after an intense Qualifying Saturday.

The main Final, was clearly dominated by Iñaky Pahissa who took the first position after the first pit-stop and kept it for the whole race.
The fight for the 2-4th places was very interesting and we saw 5 drivers fighting and swapping positions to reach the honor places. Bad luck for TQ Xabier Arana who lost his 3rd. place 3 minutes before the race Finish. Rodrigo Pahissa was right behind him and took his opportunity to step on the podium together with his brother.

Rodrigo Pahissa, made the fastest lap in Main final and set a new Track laptime record.
