And besides that, however, they were intently watching our team's driver Adam Lacko, who was contesting not only the FIA European Truck Racing Cup, but also the Spanish Cup...

Right away in the first cup race he claimed the second place, behind his rival Antonio Albacete, of Spain, attaining his best placing of this season...
