The race was characterized by the fairly wet circuit due to the rainy conditions in which the race was held as you can see in the photo.

In this race there were a  total of 15 registrees, of which two, Alvaro Marrero and Marcos Estevez, didn´t achieve the minimum number of laps required to qualify.

Despite everything, it wasn´t so bad after all with the registrations, considering that there was almost 100% certainty that it was going to rain.
We regret the absence of Jose Dubra who, due to a sprained foot, was unable to attend and Fernando Vieito, who, due to job commitments was also unable to make the race.
There were also other pilots form Vigo such as Jorge Parga, Marcos Gonzalez, Alexander Blanco and Ramon Gonzalez who were unable to participate.

 

Here they caught me in the act of regulating the front dowstops.

Top of Carlos Blanco with Sorex 28 wheels. I did the best I could with some wheels that weren´t the most appropriate for the rain but nevertheless I still achieved the 8th position.

Fernando Meijido shows us his Top "sandwich"  de Top;  the old plastic kitchen wrap trick still proves to be a sure thing.
He did what he could with some Nomark V22 tires (the equivalent to the sorex32) acheiving a final 10th place and an improvement with respect to Samil (18th) in the second race held.

Fernando rubs his hands together, "I think I´m getting better"..

Andreas also brought us his TT01 Drift with a BMW M3 E30 car body with which he will also begin to train.

Tamiya 415 MSX MR by Alberto Cornide which is in this race took out the thorns of the Samil race achieving a 2nd place and one of the best positions of his sporting carrer. He also used the Undercover and although he began by racing with Sorex 20, finally he was able to get some LRP Vtec Rain, resulting in improved times.

 
The Xray by Jose Luis Sabucedo, also with undercover and Vtec Rain wheel.
Once again, the unfortunate Jose Luis ended up just one step from the podium with  4th place, although improving his position with respect to his previoius position at the race at Samil.
 
The old Xray T1 of Antonio Vazquez with a car body painted by Marcos Estevez. ended up in 6th place, despite being capable of placing higher had it not been for a slight error in one the legs which caused his car to flip over on various occaisions. 


Jaime Suarez once again raced an electric Touring; but this time he didn´t do it with his HPI PRO4 but with a Serpent S400 that he bought from Angel with LRP electronics. He achieved 13th place but, had the conditions been drier, he would have surely been battling for much higher placings.






Francisco Priegue prepared himself for the rainy conditions by using an LRP brushed motor and  variator protected by a plastic ballon. He went from less to more, winning the last leg but it wasn´t enough to enough to improve his final 5th place.

Tamiya 415 of Marcos Estevez. He decided not to race due to the rain but ended up controlling the coordination of the race and timekeeping.
The Xray of Severino Santiago with which he put up really good fight, achieved  3rd place after a fiasco of a race in Samil, in his own backyard he showed no mercy.
