    THE RACE   
 
In Final, Bruno Coelho began leading the race, after a bad start of Miguel. Ricardo Monteiro was 2nd. However, after 2nd. refuel, Miguel took the lead and managed to keep it until the final, with a very inteligent work in pit box with the time refueling, making one less than Bruno Coelho, the second. All people saw a fantastic final and a good fighting between Miguel and Bruno, always separated by a few seconds during all over 45 minutes. Only in last 5 minutes Miguel, very strong and confident went away profiting the extra refuel of Bruno.
To 3rd. place we assisted also a good fighting between TLR driver - Ricardo Monteiro and Kyosho man - Rodrigo Luis. As to 1st. place, these two drivers were always very close, separated by few seconds. In the final Monteiro finished in last place of the podium, being faster than Luis in last 10 minutes and also profiting a great pit box working with timing refuel, making one less Rodrigo Luis.
Miguel Matias was the great winner, making TQ, victory and fastest lap in final (28.507). Bruno Coelho, another Portuguese tiger and a big talent was 2nd., after a bad qualyfying, coming from 1/8 final. Ricardo Monteiro always very profitable, got again a podium.
Perfect result to RB team, also with the young driver João Lopes (12 years old) in Main Final (as always) and the João Gomes "Bife", that was running in 5th place, but a problem with clutch bearings didn't let him take his right place (5th.).
