Nacho Lopez wins Rd1 Spanish Nats

Tecrotec driver Nacho López carried forward his current run of form to last weekend’s opening round of the Spanish 1/8th Nationals, held in Cádiz. Both practice and qualifying were run in wet conditions and this left Nacho having to start from the semi finals. On Sunday, the Picco powered driver was able to win his semi and start the main from 5th position behind Carlos Peracho and Oscar Cabezas, among others. After some problems for Cabezas the fight was then between Peracho and Nacho with the latter managing to conserve his tires better and was able to take the victory by 4 seconds at the end of the 45 minute final. Shepherd racer Carlos Peracho was 2nd with Victor Gonzalez a further 3 laps back in 3rd. The next round of the Nationals will be held on the Valencia track, host of this years 1/8th scale European Championships.
