Chicha Rioja takes SNS Stock Touring title

Chicha Rioja takes SNS Stock Touring title

The final round of the Spanish National Series was held at the Club 10 club in Barakaldo. The tight and technical track with high grip made for excellent racing conditions and the event saw local driver Chicha Rioja taking the pole position for the Stock Touring A-mains from Tony Mur and Hugo Misa. The opening A-main was a bit of a drama for the TQ holder as he got hit from behind which resulted in a body tuck and an 8th place finish. Chicha would come back in form in A2 and A3 though, taking dominant wins to grab the day’s win from Tony Mur and Yeray Martinez. With the victory at the final round Chicha also secured himself the overall title from Rafael Ortiz and Tony Mur.

Teemu Leino is the Top Qualifier for the third round of the Euro Nitro Series, the Team Infinity driver dominating the opening three rounds of qualifying at the Austria event to wrap up pole position for tomorrow’s A-Main with two rounds of qualifying still to run.  Winner of the Aigen event last year, the Finn has been the class of the 200mm field this weekend with only World Champion Dominic Greiner looking like providing any kind of serious challenge.  Having only started his 1:10 campaign at Round 2 of the championship in Germany, where he took a narrow victory over Greiner, today’s TQ earns last year’s championship runner up an important bonus point.
