The Rojillos showed incredible courage coming back from 0-2 down to draw level with just 10 men against a side who had taken 22 out of a possible 29 points in their last nine games.

Prior to the match the La Palma side occupied fourth place and the final playoff spot but only by a point, they knew a win against Lanzarote would leave themselves with their destiny in their own hands going into the final day of the season at home next Sunday.

It was the rugged coastline of El Golfo that attracted the German manufacturers, the drive past Los Hervideros where the smooth tarmac cuts through the jagged volcanic landscape, next to the deep blue powerful waves of the Atlantic ocean.

The video features volcanic scenes from Lanzarote as well as describing the performance and features of the car. It’s not the first time that  read more »
