Results Subida a Opakua 2017

The Basque Hillclimb Championship started this weekend with the Subida a Opakua. It rained very hard all day and the race was actually stopped after the first timed race because of lightning. At that point the race track was already shortened because one of the drivers deposited a large amount of oil near the finish. It was then decided to bring the finishline a few hundred metres downhill. So even though winner Aitor Zabaleta set a faster time than last year, it does not count as a new trackrecord.

As mentioned Zabaleta won the Opakua Hillclimb for the fourth time in as many years. Joseba Olea was second fastest in practise but during the single race session he was passed by Arkaitz Ordoki and Joseba Iraola. Egoitz Coroso was fastest touringcar driver in practise but fell back to fourth in the race. Bruno Scherer was second fastest in practise but the Porsche 911 GT3 pilot ran into trouble in the race and ended up last. Instead it was Markel Cestafe who won with Igor Urien second. Ander Corcuera was third quickest touringcar driver and FL winner.
