Xray Racing Series Spain – Report

The Xray Racing Series Spain was recently held at the Asoger track in Getafe, close to Madrid in Formula, Blinky Stock, and Modified classes. In the Touring Modified class, Alexander Hagberg was able to TQ four qualifying rounds and he would also sweep the triple A-mains as well, for an overall win in front of David Perez and Ramon Guasch. The Blinky Stock class was a much closer encounter, with three drivers having the chance to win the race after the opening two A-mains. TQ holder Chicha Rioja De Diego eventually had to settle for 3rd, after some close battles with Jan Ratheisky and Carlos Fernandez Espinosa. Eventually Jan came out on top after the dust had settled to take the win from Carlos Fernandez and Chicha Rioja De Diego. Finally in the Formula class Jan Ratheisky laid down a dominant drive, converting his TQ position into a win from Paco Macias and Pedro Poco Gomez.
