Campionato portoghese

Lo scorso fine settimana è stata la volta del terzo round del campionato portoghese; luogo della prova Maia, nord del Portogallo, con la presenza eccellente del campione del mondo Bruno Coelho, che ha ottenuto la pole in entrambe le categorie.

Pista non semplicissima, che ha creato qualche problema a numerosi piloti nel cercare il miglior setup in vista della gara, anche per l'elevato livello raggiunto grazie al campione del mondo presente. Gara 1:10 a senso unico, con la vittoria di Bruno; diversamente è andata nella categoria 1:8, che ha visto Bruno avere un problema sul suo modello e ha dovuto accontentarsi della seconda posizione, alle spalle di un ottimo Jose Felix.

Questi i risultati:

Le parole di Bruno a fine gara:

“This weekend happened the 3rd Round of Portuguese nationals 1/10 and 1/8 Nitro. It happen in Maia north of Portugal and the weather was perfect. The first race of the year without rain was very good with a great atmosphere between drivers. In the qualification everything was good for me and I made TQ in both classes. In the finals I was able to finish in 1 st position in 1/10 class with 6 laps ahead to the second driver, my car was great all the time. In 1/8 all was different, starting first and with a strong driver Hugo Exposto behind forcing me to push harder and overtaking me at the 11 th minute by my mistake, than start the real problem for me, my second gear broke after I had a crash with stopped car on the track pushing me to the 5 th position, until the end I pushed hard to finish in the best position possible and I was able to finish in second.”
