Pole für Bottas – Bianchi nach Unfall in der achten Reihe

Valtteri Bottas (ART Grand Prix, 0:41,438 Minuten) eroberte die Pole-Position für das 13. Saisonrennen der Formel 3 Euro Serie auf dem 1,929 Kilometer langen Indy-Circuit von Brands Hatch. Der Finne gewann in seiner Qualifying-Gruppe vor Alexander Sims (Mücke Motorsport, 0:41,548 Minuten). In der anderen Gruppe ging die Bestzeit an Mika Mäki (Signature, 0:41,551 Minuten) vor Christian Vietoris (Mücke Motorsport, 0:41,660 Minuten). Der in der Gesamtwertung führende Jules Bianchi (ART Grand Prix, 0:42,027 Minuten) musste sein Qualifying nach einem Unfall schon nach fünf Minuten beenden und belegte den achten Gruppen-Platz.
Bianchi führte das Feld an, als er ausgangs Paddock Hill Bend von der Strecke abkam und einen Einschlag in die Streckenbegrenzung nicht mehr vermeiden konnte. So musste der Franzose mit ansehen, wie er im Ranking immer weiter zurückfiel. Sein Teamkollege und Rookie Valtteri Bottas freute sich hingegen über seine zweite Pole-Position in dieser Saison. Wegen der kurzen Strecke und der hohen Starterzahl wurde das Qualifying in zwei Gruppen ausgefahren, die nach geraden und ungeraden Startnummern aufgeteilt waren.
Valtteri Bottas (ART Grand Prix): „Ich starte morgen von der Pole-Position und das ist super. Ich habe alles aus dem Auto herausgeholt. Hier ist das Überholen sehr schwierig, deshalb ist morgen ein guter Start umso wichtiger. Wenn ich danach fehlerfrei fahre, sollte auch ein Sieg möglich sein.“
Mika Mäki (Signature): „Es war ein gutes Qualifying, aber die zweite Gruppe war schneller. Sie hatte allerdings auch die besseren Bedingungen. Ich habe mein Bestes gegeben und denke, dass ich morgen mindestens Zweiter werden kann. Gegen Ende des Qualifyings war ich in der ersten Kurve zu schnell, mein Auto übersteuerte und ich konnte den Einschlag nicht mehr vermeiden.“
Alexander Sims (Mücke Motorsport): „Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem zweiten Platz in meiner Gruppe und glaube, dass ein Sieg im Rennen morgen auf jeden Fall möglich ist. Startplatz drei ist eine gute Ausgangsposition dafür. Ich merke, dass ich von Rennen zu Rennen besser werde.“

Andy Soucek responds to set practice pace

FIA Formula Two Championship

Spaniard holds off Wickens and Jousse

Championship leader Andy Soucek recorded the fastest lap time of the day (Friday) during the second Formula Two free practice session at Oschersleben.

The Spaniard’s time was set relatively early on in the 30-minute session, whilst his title rivals tried to respond in the latter stages. Robert Wickens and Julien Jousse are second and third respectively in the current overall standings, and both drivers secured the same positions during the final moments of the second free practice session.

Whilst Soucek remains out in front, both Wickens and Jousse are confident of a good weekend ahead: "The weekend has started pretty well," commented Wickens. "I have come into the event in a positive frame of mind and I am happy with the progress we have made. I didn’t use the boost either so I can still find some time there. I really enjoy technical circuits like this – it seems to suit my driving style. Andy is in front, but it was only practice!"

"I am feeling confident," said Jousse. "The track is quite difficult to learn however, as it is quite bumpy. It is very easy to make a mistake here. My time was with the boost, but I don’t know what everyone else was doing. It will be very close in qualifying on new tyres."

Edoardo Piscopo set the last flying lap of the session, which included the fasted final sector of any driver. Unfortunately his first two sectors did not reach the same heights, but the Italian’s lap was still good enough for fourth.

Tobias Hegewald was bumped down to fifth and Miloš Pavlović set a last minute lap to take sixth away from Austrian racer Philipp Eng.

Carlos Iaconelli and early pace-setter Mikhail Aleshin were eighth and ninth, but both drivers had late spins at the tight turn one whilst trying to improve their times. Lithuanian talent Kazim Vasiliauskas rounded out the top ten.

The tight, twisty and slippery nature of the Oschersleben circuit caught out several drivers, most notably Armaan Ebrahim, who spun into the gravel at the exit of turn nine, and debutant Ollie Hancock, who made contact with the barriers after a late off. It was an unfortunate incident for the Briton as he had set his fastest lap of the session during the previous tour. British trio Alex Brundle, Jolyon Palmer and Jason Moore were also amongst those who recovered from spins.

Earlier in the day Julien Jousse and Mikhail Aleshin had set the pace in the first free practice session, both drivers remarkably recording the same lap time of 1:21.514s.

Free Practice two – Oschersleben – Provisional Classification:

1. Andy Soucek, 1:20.900
2. Robert Wickens, +0.026s
3. Julien Jousse, +0.169s
4. Edoardo Piscopo, +0.231s
5. Tobias Hegewald, +0.355s
6. Miloš Pavlović, +0.416s
7. Philipp Eng, +0.479s
8. Carlos Iaconelli, +0.524s
9. Mikhail Aleshin, +0.555s
10. Kazim Vasiliauskas, +0.634s                          www.formulatwo.com

BIRTHDAY AT THE BMW PLANT

BMW Team Germany drivers Augusto Farfus and Jörg Müller, both celebrate their birthday on September 3rd. This year they celebrated it together by visiting the BMW factory in Leipzig, a few kilometres away from Oschersleben.
Farfus and Müller enjoyed visiting the assembly line of the new BMW X1 and meeting the workers before signing autographs for the employees during the shift changeover.
"I’ve never been here before, I’m surprised how modern everything is. Really great. At my home race I want to win my first race this year, that is for sure", said Jörg Müller.
The tour ended with the team mates being offered a double birthday cake.

CHINESE COMMITTEE VISITS OSCHERSLEBEN
A large committee of FASC (the Federation of Automobile Sports of China) is visiting the WTCC paddock at Oschersleben this weekend.
The group is led by Xian Tongchun, Division Chief in charge of Touring Cars and includes key persons in charge of organising and promoting the Chinese Touring Car Championship that will switch to the FIA S2000 technical regulations next year.
"We are very happy to welcome the Chinese delegation and show them how the WTCC works. It is great to see the CTCC embracing the FIA regulations, because this is a crucial market for car manufacturers. Even those who are interested in joining the WTCC in the near future are keen to have the opportunity to race in China with the same cars. It is something that the FIA and ourselves have worked on, together with FASC president Mr Yu Zaiqing, for a long time," said WTCC promoter Marcello Lotti.

SHAPOVALOV BACK IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT
The LADA Sport team spent the summer break building two new Priora cars. This enabled the team to respect the original plan of switching to a full trio of Prioras from this weekend’s meeting at Oschersleben.
The Russian car recently completed a test session at Magny-Cours that focused on general development of chassis and engine. With James Thompson unable to race in Oschersleben, due to a clashing commitment, team principal Viktor Shapovalov is back in the driver’s seat.
"Of course I’ve missed driving, so this is a very nice opportunity for me," said Shapovalov. "I’ve been out of competition for a couple of months so I might not be up to speed straight away, but I’m certainly going to be trying my best."

Estoril set for derby match-up

The Superleague Formula by Sonangol circus rolls into Estoril next weekend (5/6 September) where two titans of Portuguese football will go head-to-head. Sporting Lisbon and FC Porto may not have played each other on a pitch yet this season, but the pair has been in close quarters on track throughout the 2009 Superleague campaign.
FC Porto scored their first ever series victory in race two at Donington Park last time out to earn their place in the Super Final. Tristan Gommendy was at the wheel that day but the Frenchman will step aside in Estoril to allow Porto-local and GP2 race winner Álvaro Parente to make his Superleague debut.
“The connection with FC Porto has existed since the beginning of the Superleague project, but competing in GP2 has made it impossible to co-ordinate everything,” said Parente. “Happily, this time things are different as I’ve got a window to race for Porto at Estoril, which makes me very happy because they have always been my club. “Although I don’t know the car, I’m expecting a good result and that’s what I am going to work towards. I know the Estoril circuit quite well, which is always an advantage, and I think my experience in GP2 will also allow me to get up to speed with the car quickly. It’s a new challenge in my career and I want to make the most of it. Racing at home is always good and hopefully I will enjoy lots of support from the Porto fans.”

Looming large on his radar is bound to be the green and white hoops of Sporting’s Pedro Petiz who finished runner-up behind Porto in that second Donington race. The Portuguese duo know each other well from childhood but won’t be offering any quarter once the lights go out come Sunday. “Alvaro’s a good friend,” confirmed Petiz. “We grew up and went to the same school together. But that’s all going to be put to one side once we’re out on the track. It’s going to be a great battle. There’s been a lot of media attention regarding the derby between Sporting and Porto. The race has been promoted really well so I’m confident that there will be a lot of green and white in the stands.
“I’m really aiming for at least a podium finish. We were fast at Donington and have improved every single weekend. We’ve worked hard over the first half of the season specifically for this race and the second half of the championship in order to gather as many points as possible. We’re confident. Sporting has put a lot of trust in me so I’m really hopeful we can give them a podium at least.”
The new football season meanwhile has already witnessed a number of teams go head-to-head, both domestically and in Europe, since the championship’s previous round in July where Rangers’ John Martin scored victory in the Super Final, netting himself €100,000. League leaders Liverpool and driver Adrian Valles will be looking to avenge their 2-1 first day Premiership defeat at the hands of Tottenham whose star striker Craig Dolby finished second in Britain and lies third overall. Anderlecht too will be hoping for better fortune on the race track after they were humbled 8-2 on aggregate against Superleague rivals Olympique Lyonnais during Champions League qualifying.
As well as the debut of Parente, round four also marks the 2009 series bow of four other drivers. In a major coup, four-time Champ Car champion Sébastien Bourdais transfers from Formula 1 to Superleague’s FC Sevilla, Dutchman and reigning Japanese F3 champion Carlo Van Dam takes over the PSV Eindhoven hot seat, Franck Perera swaps his GP2 duties for the familiar surroundings of an AS Roma cockpit (the Frenchman drove for the team in six races last term) while Maria de Villota becomes Superleague Formula’s first female driver after joining Atletico Madrid. Previous incumbent Ho-Pin Tung takes Scott Mansell’s place at Galatasaray while former FC Sevilla driver Esteban Guerrieri is installed at Olympiacos.
Aside from rivalries and driver changes, a new system for deciding the six Super Finalists will debut in Portugal. The standing start first tested at Donington has been retained with the top half dozen point scorers over the two feature races taking their place on the grid. This is in contrast to the two previous Super Finals where the top three from each feature race were rewarded.
Superleague Formula’s show will star on Friday, September 4th when at 16.30 Porto FC, Sporting Club, Corinthians and Flamengo’s car will run around Estoril streets. The program continues with the drivers draw for qualifying, where, at the Casino de Estoril, each of the 18 teams are divided into two groups of nine prior to the weekend’s racing.
You can catch hour-long Superleague Formula by Sonangol highlights on British Eurosport 2 (Sky Digital 411 and Virgin Media 525) on Sunday, 6 September at 6.30pm BST.

ALBERT COLL NO DEFRAUDÓ

ALBERT- Camp España 09 Sevilla 004 ALBERT- Camp España 09 Sevilla 007

CAMPEONATO DE ESPAÑA DE KARTING 2009

El piloto mallorquín, dejó un buen sabor de boca, y no defraudó, este pasado fin de semana en el Circuito Internacional de Alcalá del Río en Sevilla, durante la disputa de la única carrera puntuable para el Campeonato de España de karting 2009 en la categoria X-30.

En la extensa lista de inscritos (53), soprendia ver a pilotos de un alto nivel, que ya están compitiendo en fórmulas, ó incluso que ya disputan carreras a nivel internacional. Por vez primera el piloto mallorquín Albert Coll probaria suerte en este certamen.

Albert, no defraudó, consiguiendo su principal objetivo de clasificarse directamente para las finales del domingo, realizando clasificaciones espectaculares, colocandose 17º de entre los 53 pilotos que las disputaban.

Ya el domingo en el warm-up, Albert realizaba el 10º mejor tiempo, lo que demostraba que iba a por todas. En la prefinal Albert salía desde la posición 24, realizando una magistral remontada que lo colocaban en el 13º lugar, para disputar la gran final entre los mejores 34 pilotos de España.

El objetivo de Albert, estaba cumplido, y llenaba de ilusión a su equipo de mecánicos, cuando durante un buen rato de la final se colocaba en el 9º puesto, para que a sólo 4 vueltas de la culminación de la carrera, Albert era golpeado, sacandolo de la pista por otros dos pilotos que posteriormente fueron sancionados, pero que no le devolverian la posición que tenía en esos momentos.

Albert comentaba: “Lo difícil ya lo habia superado, pero ya se sabe – así son las carreras-.”

It’s the transfer of the season: Sébastien Bourdais joins Superleague Formula!

Having won in almost every championship he’s entered and the owner of one of motorsport’s most impressive CVs, Sébastien Bourdais, after contesting 27 grand prix, is ready to accept a new challenge; Superleague Formula by Sonangol, the only series to marry the passion of football with the excitement of motor racing. The Frenchman will begin his campaign as early as this coming weekend in Estoril (Portugal) racing for Spanish club FC Sevilla.
Bourdais’ career has been a highly successful one. He remains the youngest-ever French F3 champion before also claiming the prestigious International F3000 crown in 2002. However, it is in the States where he earned his most coveted achievements, winning four consecutive Champ Car series titles for Hollywood legend Paul Newman and team partner Carl Haas. Although a single seater specialist, Bourdais has also shined in European and American sportscar racing, where he’s recorded several strong results.

Following a successful half-day’s testing at Magny-Cours last week with British outfit Ultimate, Bourdais, who was soon recording excellent lap times at the wheel of the 750bhp V12-powered Elan chassis, took the decision to contest the last three rounds of the 2009 Superleague Formula by Sonangol season. (5/6 September: Estoril; 3/4 October: Monza; 7/8 November: Jarama).
Superleague Formula by Sonangol is delighted to welcome a champion of Bourdais’ calibre which confirms the category’s position as a genuine alternative to Formula 1 for professional drivers. Indeed, the Frenchman will go up against fellow former F1 protagonists Giorgio Pantano (2008 GP2 Series Champion and ex-Jordan Grand Prix driver), Antonio Pizzonia and Enrique Bernoldi, not to mention the host of young talent eager to test itself against the best.
Alex Andreu (President of Superleague Formula):
“Superleague Formula is very happy and very proud to welcome a driver with as many titles as Sébastien Bourdais. His decision was made after testing our car at the Magny-Cours circuit, who I would like to thank for believing in our project and participating in its development. Our objective is to attract the best professional drivers to our series. Giorgio Pantano, Antonio Pizzonia and today Sébastien Bourdais are amongst these. We’re also hopeful that others will join us shortly. The more drivers we have of their calibre, the more Superleague Formula will carve its rightful place in the modern motorsport landscape, as well as offering a quality show to its fans.”
Interview with FC Sevilla’s Sébastien Bourdais:
“The best alternative to F1”
What motivated you to come and race in Superleague Formula?
“For a driver, Superleague Formula is the best alternative to F1. Today, it’s the only other championship in Europe to offer a driver the possibility of racing single seaters at a high, professional level. I am also a firm believer in the concept of merging motorsport and football. It’s a partnership that offers enormous potential and should have a good future. Once the championship is established and more widely known, I am sure that Superleague Formula will be very strong.”
What were your first impressions at the wheel of Superleague Formula’s Elan chassis, V12-powered single seater?
“The test at Magny-Cours made me realise just how fun the car is to drive. An F1 car is faster because it’s lighter. But the Elan V12 happens to be a very competitive car, benefiting from a lot of aerodynamic downforce and a very potent engine, drivable and powerful across the rev range, and offering a large scope of usage. It’s a consistent single seater that’s a pleasure to drive.”
What’s the target for your debut in Estoril?
“My desire is evidently to be competitive straight away at Estoril. Now, I only did a few laps in the car and the team is quite new to the championship. To win as soon as my first race will not be easy for sure. I also want to have fun, which hasn’t often been the case for me during this last year.”
How do you approach the race and qualifying formats which are specific to Superleague Formula?
“I will discover a qualifying system which is different to what I’ve been used to as it requires a very tactical approach. As far as the three races go, the totally reversed grid for the second reminds me of Formula Campus. This creates a lot of overtaking opportunities which improves the overall show on track, especially if the objective is to secure a place in the Super Final. To some degree though, Superleague Formula reminds me of racing in Champ Car.”

Are you a football fan?

“Without being an aficionado of football, I do often attend Le Mans fixtures – my home-town – as well as supporting the French national side during the important international tournaments.”

Formula Two set for Germany debut this weekend

F2 arrives in Oschersleben for rounds 11 & 12 (4/5/6 September)

Andy Soucek will be looking to increase his lead in the overall standings as the FIA Formula Two Championship arrives in Germany for rounds 11 and 12 this weekend (4/5/6 September).

The Motorsport Arena Oschersleben will play host to the event as F2 reaches a critical stage in the 2009 campaign. Soucek extended his championship advantage at Donington Park last time out as the Spaniard took his third victory of the season, whilst his main title rival Robert Wickens failed to score points in either race during a frustrating weekend. Whilst the Canadian was able to maintain second place in the standings, he will be keen to get his championship challenge back on track in Germany. Wickens has raced in various categories below F2 this season to gain as much race experience as possible to bolster his championship challenge, and the 20-year-old enjoyed success at a round of the Formula Atlantic Championship last weekend, scoring a strong fourth place finish at Mosport in his homeland.

Julien Jousse took a superb maiden F2 victory at Donington to fire himself back into title contention and the Frenchman is just two points behind Wickens in third place, with German racer Tobias Hegewald narrowly behind in fourth. Having won both races at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps in June, Hegewald will be searching for his third victory of the season as he races in front of his home fans for the first time.

The Red Bull Junior Team duo of Mikhail Aleshin and Mirko Bortolotti, who was recently linked to Luca Badoer’s seat at Ferrari, currently lie fifth and sixth respectively in the championship order, whilst Austrian Philipp Eng is tied with Bortolotti on 31 points. Eng dropped four places in the table during the last round in England, illustrating the importance of consistent scoring at every event in Formula Two.

Incredibly, just eight points separate second to seventh in the championship standings. Six drivers have scored victories in the opening ten rounds this season – the podium has seen twelve different visitors and a staggering 20 drivers have already scored championship points.

It will be a vital weekend for many F2 drivers in Oschersleben, not least for local driver Jens Höing – the Berlin-born racer will be searching for his first points finish of the season at his home circuit. 22-year-old Ollie Hancock will make his F2 debut this weekend after signing up to contest the final six races of 2009, and the young Briton enjoyed a successful maiden run in an F2 car at Bedford Autodrome last week.

Located in Oschersleben, Börde, the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben is a relatively new racetrack having only opened in July 1997. Germany’s third permanent circuit after the Nürburgring and Hockenheimring, Oschersleben hosts rounds of the FIA World Touring Car Championship, DTM and FIA GT Championships. F2 will partner the WTCC this weekend and both races will be screened live on Eurosport.

DON GRANDES, ANDRES VILARIÑO Y LUÍS MARTÍNEZ, TAMBIÉN ESTARÁN PRESENTES EN EL PUIGMAJOR

Andresvilarino

Sóller, (Illes Balears) miércoles 02 de septiembre de 2009.

Si hace unas semanas dábamos cuenta de la participación de Xavi Riera y Gerard de la Casa en la 30ª Pujada al Puigmajor, ahora debemos sumar dos participaciones estelares. Se trata del piloto vasco Andrés Vilariño y el navarro Luis Martínez, dos pilotos que se proclamaron campeones de España de montaña en varias ocasiones y que no quieren perderse el homenaje que se rendirá a Juan Fernández al concluir la sesión de entrenamientos del sábado día 19 de septiembre.

Luis Martínez se desplazará a Mallorca para estar presente en el homenaje, mientras que su hijo Íñigo Martínez competirá a los mandos de su Silver Car S2. En la actualidad Íñigo ocupa la segunda posición de la clasificación provisional del campeonato de España de CM, justo por detrás del mallorquín Pedro Roca. En cuanto a su padre, Luis, decir que se proclamó campeón de España absoluto en las temporadas 89’, 90’, 91’, y 92’, siendo tercero en los años 94’, 96’, y 97’ con un total de 200 victorias absolutas. Tras sufrir un grave accidente se vio obligado a abandonar la competición.

Por su parte Andrés Vilariño también posee un currículum envidiable consiguiendo los campeonatos de España de Montaña, a los mandos de su Osella PA 20, en las temporadas 84’, 98’,99’, y los campeonatos de Europa en las temporadas 90’, 91’, y 92’ además de conseguir varios subcampeonatos y ser cuarto en las 24 Horas de Le Mans GT2 en 1994. Esta temporada junto a su hijo Ander están disputando el Campeonato Europeo de Resistencia, donde ocupan el segundo lugar de la clasificación. Andrés Vilariño posee un equipo propio de competición en el que también están sus hijos Ander y Ángela que han conseguido excelentes resultados en distintas especialidades a los mandos de sus respectivos monoplazas.

A fecha de hoy no podemos decir a ciencia cierta con que coche acudirán al Puigmajor, puesto que tanto el monoplaza del europeo, como el Subaru WRC del equipo, están comprometidos para la fecha de la subida, y Andrés Vilariño está buscando un vehículo de primera línea con el que acudir a la cita de Sóller.

MIKEL MOSTAJO:

“Me lo he pasado genial todo el fin de semana.

El kart corría un montón y cada vez que quería adelantar o marcharme, respondía perfectamente.

Ahora ya he ganado carreras en un Campeonato y soy Subcampeón de España. Lo que quiero de ahora en adelante es ganar más.

Quiero dar las gracias a mi aita y a los Vallés. Tenemos un equipo muy fuerte, con unos técnicos que te dejan el Kart como un avión y saben lo que te tienen que decir en cada momento. Dentro de la carpa tenemos un ambiente genial, cada carrera es una fiesta.”

IÑIGO BICUÑA:

Para Iñigo esta ha sido su presentación en un Campeonato de España.

Ha logrado entrar en las finales gracias a un segundo puesto en las repescas y dejando muy buenas sensaciones en su debut, remontando 14 puestos en la final.

Será un piloto a seguir en las próximas citas.

IKER ROSELLÓ:

Iker tuvo un comienzo prometedor del fin de semana, superando incluso a Mikel en los entrenamientos cronometrados, donde acabó 6º.

Pudo haber entrado fácilmente en las finales, pero no supo hacer valer su buenos tiempos de vuelta , teniendo que ver las finales desde el box.

PUJADA SANT SALVADOR 2009

PUJADA SANT SALVADOR

Coincidiendo con las fiestas patronales de Felanitx tuvo lugar la sexta edición de la Pujada a Sant Salvador que en esta ocasión se celebró íntegramente en sábado. Un total de 33 vehículos formaron la lista de inscritos de la que se caían a última hora Pedro Roca, que no se podía traer su Silver Car a la isla, y Jaime Martorell Sr., que no podía tener su ZX a punto.

ENTRENOS

Desde las mangas de entrenos Gabi Arrabal ya daba a conocer sus intenciones y apuntaba a la consecución de su segunda victoria consecutiva de cara a afianzarse en el campeonato regional de montaña. El piloto de Sa Pobla se imponía en las tres ascensiones con total autoridad y sin dar la menor opción a sus rivales. Por detrás Mario Hekke se hacía con la segunda plaza y podía superar a Jairo Pesquera que tenía serios problemas de suspensión en su Speed Car que le hacían “subirse por las paredes” para conseguir un buen crono.

Entre los carrozados Sebastià Galmés dominó con autoridad, excepto en la segunda manga, ofreciendo además un espectáculo de conducción a los numerosos aficionados presentes. José Martorell (Citroen Saxo), Dani Lozano (R-11 Turbo) y David García (Mitsubishi Evo 8) se disputaban las siguientes plazas presentando una dura lucha por las plazas de honor. Sin embargo en la tercera manga se caía David García al romper el diferencial de su Evo 8. También fue interesante la lucha en grupo N con un Rafa Binimelis que pudo contener los ataques de Jaime Riera. Julià Munar se caía de la lucha a las primeras de cambio cuando rompía la caja de cambios de su Clio Sport.

CARRERA

En la definitiva manga de carrera los puestos de podium quedaban sentenciados con Gabi Arrabal que sacaba algo más de once segundos a Mario Hekke que era segundo, y Jairo Pesquera tercero a tres segundos de Hekke. Sorpresa ente los carrozados al imponerse José Martorell que se quedaba a solo seis centésimas del Speed Car. Dani Lozano era quinto y se imponía en el grupo I por delante de Sebastià Galmés que solo pudo ser sexto. Carrerón de Rafa Binimelis que se anotaba el grupo N y era además séptimo a pocas décimas de Galmés. Raúl Moreno realizaba una subida sin errores y ascendía hasta la octava plaza a los mandos de su Clio Williams, superando a Raúl Palenzuela que se imponía en grupo A2. Jaime Riera completaba el top ten, siendo segundo de su grupo.
