Victor Pelaez Olivares wins Spanish GP nats Rd4

The fourth and final round of the Spanish nitro on-road nationals took place in Parla. The championship would be decided between Jonnhy Pastor and Victor Pelaez Olivares. Both drivers had to skip Friday’s practice meaning they only had two hours of practice on Saturday morning. Victor Pelaez quickly proofed to be the fastest driver on the track but come the qualifiers both Victor and Jonnhy struggled and at the end it was Iñaki Pahissa who took TQ followed by Victor. Going into the finals it was clear that all drivers needed a good tyre management to make the 30 minutes final without tyre changes. As the A final started Iñaki and Victor were able to hold their positions and after dropping down to fourth place Victor shifted into second gear and took the lead after a couple of fast laps. He was able to control the pace in order to save tyres and while other drivers started to struggle with the black gold Victor (Serpent) cruised to victory with Iñaki Pahissa (Xray) in second and Rodri Pahissa Lopez (Serpent) in third position.
