Perez & Ratheisky win at Spanish National Series

The final round of the Spanish National Series was held in Barakaldo, Spain in the three classes of Touring Modified, Touring Stock and Formula. With rain being forecasted during the weekend the organisers tried to get through the qualifiers as quick as possible and in the Modified class it was David Perez who grabbed the overall TQ thanks to a blistering final qualifier that also smashed the current track record. In the Formula class Jan Ratheisky would grab a pretty undefeated TQ to get the pole position for the finals. Unfortunately on Sunday heavy rain forced the organisers to cancel the race, meaning the qualifying results would determine the day’s winners. Therefore David Perez (Xray) would take the win in the Touring Modified class from Dominic Vogl (Yokomo) and Jon Ander Lorenzo (Xray) while in the Formula class Jan brought home the win thanks to his TQ.
