The Spanish radio control fleet, the IOM class, already has a new champion of Spain, after closing this weekend the race, which has gathered in the RCN of Torrevieja the 39 best regatists, both national and international, as they had the permission of the RFEV to participate in the torreviejense meeting, within the framework of the Comunitat Valenciana Olympic Week.

On Friday he started the competition and the first general classification already gave signs that it was going to be a very dubious and equal championship, with the great favorites occupying the positions above. On Sunday, February 19, the national was closing and doing so with 17 tests completed and 3 discards applied.

It was also expected that the title would be left at home, only to know who would be left with the national scepter. In this sense Ginés Romero (RCN Torrevieja) is in a hurry in the last day and last races to ensure the final triumph. Romero proclaims champion with partial 1-6-1-1-2-1-1-2-1-17-8-6-2-13-4-5, totaling 34 points.

The Spanish subchampion, Guillermo Beltri, also from the headquarters club, hangs the silver with a single point of difference than his partner Romero. In his locker are in these 17 tests five partial wins, the champion six. The bronze travels to the Region of Murcia, with Juan M. Aegea (CN Dos Mares) who stays 72 points.

The top ten is closed with Juan F. Chumilla (RCN Torrevieja), with 80 points, followed by Miguel Salvador (CV Port D'Andratx) with 91; Carlos Beltri (CN Villa de San Pedro) with 95; José Valverde (CM Almería) with 102; Per Krabbe (CN Altea) with 113; Eduardo Bonifacio (CN El Balis) with 126 and closing the 10 best of Spain Alfonso Buendía (CN Alicante Costa Blanca) that concludes with the same score of the Catalan.
