Report by David Perez
It was time for the third round of the Spanish Championship. Heading our way to probably, one of the best, if not the best track for 1/10 touring we have in our country, Club Car10, in Barakaldo.

As always, climate wise, it was challenging, on Friday night there was a summer storm that stopped us from racing till noon on Saturday, but we got to optimal track conditions in only 2 hours. Since then, up until late evening we focused on getting as much track time as we possibly could, which was needed per the trick layout of this track. I was able to reach track record performance, even on used tyres, which was a pleasant surprise.

On Sunday we were up to a tricky situation as always, starting the race so early, meant the track temperature was not on ideal parameters, so we had to take it a bit easy. Even though it wasn't optimal I was able to TQ the first round with Luis getting a P3. From then on, I went onto win the other 3 qualys, being able to make the 4 qualifying rounds within half a tenth difference in medium time which was quite impressive. Luis had a bit of misfortune in his qualifying runs, which got him into P5 for the finals.

Finals went smooth on my side, I was able to keep the lead in the first corner in all 3 finals, which was crucial, then, I pushed as hard as I could so I could make the difference from P2. By Luis' side, the finals were more eventful. Was able to get a P4 in the first final, got into some trouble in A2, then was able to get an impressive second position in last final behind me, which awarded him a P3 overall for the race.

With this result, I claim my 8th Spanish National championship, 7th in 1/10 touring and of course, the 7th spanish national title with XRAY. Luis also secured his second position overall in the championship. Which is the second consecutive 1-2 we achieve for XRAY in this championship.
