Sebastián Careaga, from Potosí, of the R5 class, was the absolute winner of the Rally Integración del Trópico, which took place over the weekend, but the one who celebrated the most was his countryman Jhonny Tarqui, who won the R2B category and with the points he added, he was awarded the national title for the 2022 season.
The race, the last of this year’s calendar of the Bolivian Federation of Sports Cars (Febad), took place along the routes of the Cochabamba tropics and the only category that remained to define the champion was the R2B.
After Saturday’s session Tarqui was running out of title, because his rival, Jairo Chura from Cochabamba, prevailed on that day, but then left the championship on a platter to Tarqui because he left on Sunday.
In addition to Sebastián Careaga (R5) and Jhonny Tarqui (R2B), who won the weekend, the man from Chuquisaca also climbed to the top of the podium Luis Sandoval (RC2N) and Beymar Moyata (R1B) from Cochabamba.
