This year the "Cup of Portugal" was hosted at Beja RC Raceway on June 26th under the beautiful sunshine in the south of our beautiful country.
This track was new for most participants. The bumpy surface was a challenge for setting up the suspension, while the extreme heat (38?C) and dry weather felt during the weekend wasnâ t easy to tolerate!
