Lamera Cup – Jarama: After the rain, the good time

Is it a hint of El Nino? A little local meteorological whim? In any case, the temperatures around Madrid are anything but Mediterranean this weekend. Under a decidedly gray sky, we even had a tropical-style thunderstorm at qualifying time this Saturday at noon. A heavy downpour nicely pecked at the track and the Jarama paddock for a few minutes. In the pits, it was a raclette party. On the track, an improvised ballet, Swan Lake style.

Then the heavenly floodgates had the good sense to close. In principle, they shouldn't open again until... tomorrow at the time of High Mass. This allowed us to verify that after the rain comes good weather, or good weather, if you prefer.

Enough to allow the Lamera 62 (3 TM62) to take pole position. It will start from this privileged position ahead of the 1 (L'Auto Leclerc). Behind, the 80 (Continental Racing) and the 421 (Atrax by Hedonic) will be waiting for the right moment to take the lead. In total, 26 crews, some of whom are tasting the adrenaline of motorsport for the first time.

A four-hour race this Saturday will serve to establish a preliminary hierarchy. On a track as selective as the 4 meters of Jarama asphalt, it looks promising.
