On March 8-9, the first test of national championship speed 1/10th 200mm was held at the Maia track near the city of Porto.
Saturday was the open practice day and it had a favourable climate with some sun and no rain. Jaime Silva, who had engine running to do, put many laps on his motor and was fine tuning by the end of the afternoon. With many drivers on the track, the afternoon passed quickly. By the end we were satisfied with the set-up we found, which was based on what we had done in October.
