Francisco Jimenez on the Estepona Rally
Francisco Jiménez at the wheel of his Subaru Impreza has managed to set the best time in his category, 04:56.332. The driver from Rueda has returned to the mountain climbs with great success. On Saturday he was leading the N Group throughout the afternoon and finished without losing the leadership of the Ns, with his third Andalusian Championship and Seventh Spanish Championship. On Sunday in the first leg, he set the best time of the N Group again keeping ahead of his most immediate rivals by at least at 5 seconds. The second leg started with a lot of enthusiasm and in fact the time was reduced in the first part, halfway through the trial by more than 2 seconds, but with approximately one kilometre to go, a mechanical failure left Jiménez out of the race. The experience has been very positive and satisfying as it has been proven that Francisco is up to the fight to win in his category in the Spanish Mountain Rally Championship.
