Tough weekend in Albacete for Chagas
Rui Chagas was in action in Albacete this weekend, for the 4th round of the Spanish Endurance Cup.
Chagas was joined once again by the experienced Stefan Hodgetts, from the UK, and the duo put on a good performance in qualifying once again, securing a 3rd and 2nd place on the grid for the two races to be held over the weekend.
Driving a Seat Leon for Portuguese team Oasis Motorsport, Hodgetts imposed a strong rhythm during his stint. However, before handing over the wheel to team mate Chagas the turbo developed a problem, and the Portuguese driver could do no better than bringing the car to the end of the race in 5th place.
Chagas lined up for Sunday’s race on the front row of the grid and was attacking from the very beginning. The race was interrupted by a red flag situation and, much to everyone’s surprise, the car would not start when the race was resumed, forcing Chagas to start from the pitlane. Chagas and Hodgetts drove a strong race, making up many positions, but in the end 5th place was the best they could do.
With this result the Portuguese driver, supported by Petronas and Holmes Place, is now 2nd in this competitive championship.
“This time everything went against our expectations. After the double win in Cartagena we were looking for another good result here in Albacete. In any case, something unexpected can always happen in racing, so the two 5th places we got here are still important for the championship.”
The championship heads into its summer break now, and the drivers will be back in action in Barcelona on September 6th and 7th.
