After a regrouping in Irixoa<\/b> and a half-hour service at Pol\u00edgono de Piadela in Betanzos<\/b>, the fight against the clock continued in this eighth edition of the Rallye R\u00edas Historical registrations<\/b>. In the repetition of the first section, Doro\u00f1a<\/b>, nothing changed compared to what was seen in the early afternoon. Jes\u00fas Ferreiro<\/b> once again set the best time in the combined classification of Pre81+Pre90<\/b> and increased the cushion of seconds compared to the second classified. But the joy was to be short-lived for the driver from Melide, who on the second run through Monfero <\/b>suffered a mechanical problem in the Ford Escort MKII<\/b> and had to say goodbye to the test. <\/span><\/p>\n Francisco L\u00f3pez<\/b>, with Ford Escort MKI<\/b>, started in Monfero in second position but was unable to take advantage of the situation to move up to first position. Quite the contrary, he saw his rival stopped, lost his focus, lost several seconds and witnessed how Antonio Sainz <\/b>went from closing the podium to being the leader of the last round of the Championship of Rally Spain for historic vehicles 2022<\/b>. Just over eleven seconds separate the two ahead of the second day of competition. <\/span><\/p>\n In third position, overcoming the forty-second barrier, Miguel Otegui<\/b> goes to sleep, and he still has options to become Pre90 Champion <\/b>just like the aforementioned Antonio Sainz<\/b> and Rafa D\u00edaz<\/b>, currently sixth and in charge of opening the track in this first stage of the R\u00edas Altas Hist\u00f3rico Rally<\/b> with BMW 325<\/b> . <\/span><\/p>\n In the middle, Juan R. Costoya <\/b>is fourth dealing with flu symptoms at the wheel of the Ford Sierra Cosworth<\/b>, and Enrique V\u00e1zquez <\/b>is fifth demonstrating, once again, a great pace with his Opel Kadett<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n Completing the group of ten best classified in the combined classification of Pre81+Pre90 Joan Riberas<\/b>, already proclaimed Champion of Pre81<\/b> with his Porsche 911 SC<\/b>, Emilio V\u00e1zquez<\/b>, adapting to driving his Peugeot 205<\/b>, Lorenzo C. Padilla<\/b> or Manel L. Castrill\u00f3n<\/b>, reconnecting with the competition after a year in dry dock. <\/span><\/p>\n
