The 2026 season of the Spanish Autocross Championship (CEAX Loterías) concluded on 24 and 25 October in Jerez de los Caballeros with another title for Speed Car, this time in the Car Cross category. Quim González secured the crown by finishing second in his Speed Car Wonder in the final round of the championship.
Quim González went into the season finale as the leader, thanks to the three wins and one second-place finish he had secured throughout the year in his Speed Car Wonder. A second-place finish was enough for the Speed Car driver to be crowned champion, and that was precisely the result he achieved in the final, which he reached after setting the third-fastest time in qualifying and finishing first, second and fourth in the three qualifying heats – results that secured him second place on the starting grid for the decisive race. Over his eight laps, Quim made no mistakes and crossed the finish line just one tenth of a second behind his main rival in the title race, scoring the points he needed to become Spanish Car Cross Champion for the first time and adding a new title to his extensive list of achievements in the series for models manufactured by Industrias Lahoz.
Two other drivers competed at Jerez de los Caballeros at the wheel of Speed Car Wonder cars. Alfonso Fontán finished fourth after improving steadily, having been seventh in the timed session and sixth in the overall standings of the qualifying heats. Aleix Costa, on the other hand, started the weekend as the fastest in practice, but a couple of mistakes in the qualifying rounds saw him drop to sixteenth place, which meant he had to compete in the B Final – a race he won to secure his place in the final. However, a contact in the opening metres put him out of action in the last race of the year.
Saul Martínez was once again the highest-placed Speed Car driver in the category reserved for the youngest drivers in Spanish autocross. On this occasion, the Asturian drove his Wonder to sixth place in the final after finishing seventh in both the timed practice sessions and the combined points tally from the three qualifying heats, which he completed with two fourth-place finishes and one sixth. The other Wonder in the Junior final was driven by the Catalan Jaime Rivas, who was twelfth in qualifying, ninth on the grid after securing a fourth, a fifth and a sixth place in the heats, and tenth in the final.
