The new national champion! he started on the 18th place and within 15 minutes he was first!

Still two races to go, both on December 9th, if he wins both, he will be the new Central American champion. All on it`s debut year!

The day before, on qualy he had a nasty crash and the replacement bumper was still at the US. We don`t have carbon fibre shops in the country. So they had to improvise! the names on the bumper are from the mechanics who stayed all night working on it.

Almost got hit for taking this one :P


The title comes from an ad on the newspaper the day after the race

What an awesome shot. I like the names on the bumper. Is this like an endurance class of racing?

I love the names on the "bumper". XD Above all, I am most impressed by the amount of work those guys put into those cars! Without them, the drivers are just pushing pedals. GREAT SHOT!
