The Lanzarote driver Antonio "Toñín" Suárez was the clear dominator of the 46th edition of the Haría Hill Climb, where he achieved his third victory in his personal record. He had a great performance that overshadowed the leaders of the Canarian Mountain Championship, since at no time could they follow the high pace of the Porsche 911 GT3, which scored all the rounds and a best time in the first official with 4.26.820, no less than a record seven seconds and four tenths better than that of the second classified, so this triumph was unanswerable for the regional leaders, who could only watch each other with a view to the titles at the end of the season in the CCM.
The second place on the podium was the most exciting and was well fought by Angel Bello with the Audi R8, who kept his main rival at bay in pursuit of the championship, José Manuel González with the Porsche 991.1 GT3. The two starred in their particular fight and in the end the Tenerife driver won by only three tenths over the Gomera driver, third in category 1 or touring cars. A result that is worth Angel Bello to consolidate even more at the head of the CCM leadership.
Outside the podium places, the fourth classified and winner of class 3 was the Lanzarote driver Alvaro Caballeron with the BMW M3, who was also very fine with his times, which were improving in each pass. Fifth and first of class 5B was Yoday Betancort with the Peugeot 208 Rally4, who comes out well trained for the appointment with the Rallye de Telde in a few days. The sixth place was awarded to the Renault Clio Cup of Suso Lemes and incidentally the trophy for class 4.
Adri Betancort was very successful in Haría, as he won the HF220, class 5C and the best classified driver from the municipality of the race trophies, with his veteran Toyota Corolla GTI, eighth overall. And Cristo Pérez with the Renault Megane won the HF160 trophy, while Daniel Peña won in class 5A with his BMW 325i. Finally, in the FALP Promotion Trophy, Aridai Cabrera won with a BMW 318.
