Robert Batlle takes 10th Spanish National title in a row

The final round of the Spanish 1/8th Nitro Buggy National Championship was held at the multi-surface Valladolid track this past weekend. 9-time National Champion Robert Batlle (Mugen) was the pre-event favourite going into the final round as he was in the position to snatch his 10th title in this class, but it was Ricardo Monteiro (TLR) who came out fastest after the qualifiers in front of Oscar Baldo (Mugen). Robert ended the qualifiers on the third place, Bryan Baldo (Mugen) rounded out the top 4. The semi finals then saw Robert coming out fastest from Ricardo with both being the only drivers to score 36 laps runs and in the main final Robert would use all of his experience to take the day’s win and with it his 10th consecutive 1/8th Nitro Buggy title. TQ Ricardo Monteiro ended the race on the runner-up spot, Oscar Baldo rounded out the podium result in third.
