Indeed. I have spoken with Cols yesterday and he was very motivated. He only drive this rally one time, in 1994 with a Fiat Cinquecento and retired early.

Impressive performance by Cols, Princen seems to be fast, where did he loose time?
Also what happened to Snijers?

Spanish championship

First overall victory for A Hevia and the Polo S2000. Congratulations also for René Georges!
Miguel Fuster has retired because I suppose he had gearbox problems on his Fiat Punto S2000.

The overall is now like that:
Chus Puras - Mitsubishi 28
Berti Hevia - VW 27
Miguel Fuster - Fiat 27
Sergio Vallejo - Porsche 19
Pedro Burgo - Mitsubishi 18
Josep Basols - Mitsubishi 16

Citroën C2 S1600, driven by Vinyes, could finish a rally for the first time in 2007... He finished 4º

It's a pity that Alberto Hevia has not money enough to finish the Championship, he only can run in 2-3 rallyes more...
