- Fifth place for Luis Recuenco Alcañiz
- Bad luck for Halpern and Holowczyc
At the Baja Aragon in Spain, which is also the fourth round of the FIA World Cup for Cross-Country-Bajas, the two MINI JCW Rally crews fielded by X-raid were unable to show off their skills. The two Argentines Sebastian Halpern and Bernardo “Ronnie Graue” as well as the two Poles Krzysztof Holowczyc and Lukasz Kurzeja had to end the Baja prematurely due to technical problems.
Other MINI rally cars were also in action in Spain. The MINI JCW Rally Crew Joao Ferreira and David Monteiro decided against a restart on Sunday after problems on Saturday. They want to concentrate on the Hungarian Baja, which is part of the FIA European Cup for Cross-Country Bajas. There, the two Portuguese are currently leading the overall standings.
The two Spaniards Luis Recuenco Alcañiz and Sergio Peinado Jimenez finished fifth overall in the MINI ALL4 Racing. They are leading the overall standings in the Spanish Cross-Country Championship. The Portuguese duo Alejandro Martins / José Marques also finished in the Top 10 with ninth place.
