Galicia Indoor Series report

Ponteareas, Spain saw a round of the Galicia Indoor Series for electric touring cars and M-class mini chassis. The indoor carpet track was modelled  after the one that was used at the Italian ETS encounter with the event being well organized by Iñigo Ledo and Andrés Gonzalez. In the touring car modified class, Helder Silva was the man to beat, he topped the first three rounds of qualifying and took TQ for the A-main final. Damian Garcia lined up second and the duo was followed closely by Javier Hidalgo in 3rd and Jorge Simões in 4th. Both drivers had a good pace but were not able to retain the times over the five minutes qualifiers.
