XRAY T4 Portuguese national champion 2016

The 5th round of 1/10 TC Stock National Championship at the big Armaia track was deciding one. It was a very hot day.

I won all qualifications with no changes to the set-up. Team XRAY put 4 cars in the Amains. Patrick Santos started from 4th place on the grid, Mauro Martins, 1/8 driver, driving on-road for the first time was in 6th and Tiago Ferreira in 10th place.

The finals: 

I won the first 2 finals with great race, no mistakes and the car was super-fast, prefect for that track. Patrick Santos had a great fight for 3rd place in all 3 finals whit the Jorge Chalupa, finished in 4th in the race, but 3rd in the national championships. Mauro Martins finished 7th and Tiago Ferreira with some electronic problems finished in 10th place.
