Above: There were just over 40 entries in the Junior Max class at the Spanish event and not even the battering weather could keep the youngsters from enjoying some great racing. Every lap was exciting!

Above: Nothing much separated the Juniors, although the majority of entries were rookies to international racing and for many, their introduction to Junior Max as well. It’s definitely shaping-up to be an extremely close competition in 2010 at the Rotax Euro Challenge.

Above: The challenging 1588m circuit of Campillos has now hosted both Rotax Winter Cups since the event began 2 years ago, but had never experienced the harsh weather conditions that they were faced with last weekend. However, the race program went ahead and was actually completed on time thanks to the huge effort of track owner Mr. Reuvers and his dedicated staff working tirelessly with the organisers.

Above: It was a memorable moment for Max Masters’ driver Florent Lambert, taking his first race win in what was a brilliant execution of both finals. He set the best lap in the first then managed to outdrive former World and European champion Colin Davis for the victory.

Above: Polesitter from Friday’s qualifying Steve White was feeling quietly confident on his home track at Campillos, but had to fight for his 3rd place on the podium. He admitted in the press conference that he’d never driven one lap on the circuit in such wet conditions before seeing the torrential rain was not normal for this part of Spain.
