Carlos Peracho takes Spanish IC Track Nationals Rd2 win

The second round of the Spanish 1/8th on-road championship was held at the ARCA track in Alcobendas near Madrid. Saturday started pretty wet but after the track dried up it was possible to run some practice heats followed by two rounds of qualification under dry conditions. Carlos Peracho qualified second right behind Spanish top driver Nacho Lopez. In the main final it was Javier Godoy who showed a great performance and made it to the first position after a few laps. For more than 20 minutes Javier was in the lead until he dropped back to second position due to some tyre issues. From now on it was Carlos Peracho who led the race until the checkered flag with Guillermo Perez completing the podium.
