This past weekend the third round of the Spanish Nitro On-road National Championship was held at the Asociación de Getafe de radiocontrol club in Madrid. The race saw high temperatures and high traction and during Saturday’s qualifying and in the 1/8th class there was a great fight for the pole position that was decided in the final round with Carlos Peracho Heras ultimately coming out on top, setting a new track record in the process. The race for the win in the main final was then on between Carlos and Guillermo. Both were on different strategies with Carlos opting for two tyre stops while Guillermo only did a single pit stop for tyres. The battle went on until engine trouble hit Guillermo, allowing Carlos to win the race in front of Alberto Alonso in 2nd and Sergio Montesinos 3rd, making it an all-Shepherd podium. Elsewhere in the 40+ final Miguel Delgado (Shepherd) took the winning honours.
