Oscar Cabezas has secured back to back Spanish 1:8 National Championship titles with the defending champion securing the 2007 crown in the season finale at Valencia over the weekend.
Driving his Mega MF powered 960, the Serpent Driver Development team member TQ'd for the event but suffered a scare at the start of the final when he was collected by another car dropping him down the order and out of a title winning position.
Aware that second place would be enough to put the title out of reach of his nearest rivals, Cabezas regained his composure and as the fastest car on the track the young star worked his was back up through the field and into that vital second place. Once in this position he held station with mature driving knowing the result would be enough to secure him the 2008 crown.
One of the stars of this year's 1:10 European Championships in Madrid, setting the fastest lap of the event with his Serpent 720, Cabezas is one of the emerging talents of onroad nitro racing and is a driver who is sure to continue to make his mark on the sport in the coming years.
Team Serpent congratulate Oscar and his father on yet another successful campaign this year.
