The RB cup was organized last week in Portugal, on the Santa Cruz track near Lisbon. It was a fun race, well organized by the RB company with the help of the RB local distributor.

Along with me there were some other famous team drivers, like Swedish Linus Thern, British Alsop Graham, and my French friend Guillaume Vray. It gave us the possibility to discuss things with some local drivers and bring our experience about car and engine setup.

On Saturday there were four qualifying rounds. I made the fastest times in the first two, and Linus won the last two. I finally got first place.

On Sunday, Guillaume got the fastest time of the semi but he had to leave before the main to make his flight. In the main, the battle was close between me and Linus during the first 20 minutes. Linus had to stop his race after a receiver problem, though. I won the race 2 laps ahead of Miguel Lopes.

It was a really good moment for everybody, a fun race on a fun track with beautiful sunny weather.
