Event report and photos by Raymond Bonnello

Before the start of a new season, I will do a retrospective of the 2017 season.

Not to repeat the reports present on RSC, don’t worry!!

I am going to mention here the side races seen during the various meetings that I followed for RSC.

Do not expect long tirades or exhaustive reports.

I focused on photos.
