Magic in Madrid with the G4S

This weekends EFRA Spanish GP, being held at the ARCA track in Madrid, was heavily disrupted by rain and low temperatures. The event, which was being treated as a warm up race for this summers European 1/10th 200mm Championships, was attended by most of the top teams in Europe with some very serious competition entered. Despite the wet weather and 8 degree temperatures, qualifying was run and it was topped by local driver Victor Pelaez driving a Team Magic G4S. During the finals the weather was not much better, with rain dispersed by sunny spells. With so many drivers far down the order after qualifiying there was a lot of action in the lower finals with Carlos Peracho, Teemu Leino and Darren Johnson, some of the drivers making their way up into the A-final from lower qualifying spots. The 45 minute main final was disrupted once more by rain showers, which made tire choice vital, and the one who got it right was eventual winner Darren Johnson, also racing a Team Magic G4S.
