The Spanish Autocross Championship completed its 2025 calendar with the final race of the season held on 25 and 26 October in Jerez de los Caballeros. The competition in Badajoz saw Speed Car Wonders take podium places in the three categories in which they compete. Quim González and Pol Durán finished third in Car Cross, occupying the same positions in the final classification of the championship, while Jon Bikendi was third in the Car Cross Series and Andrés González also took third place in Car Cross Junior.
The Car Cross category reached the final race of the year with three drivers fighting for the championship, two of them behind the wheel of Speed Car Wonder cars. However, despite both finishing on the podium in the last race of the season, neither Quim González nor Pol Durán were able to claim the title. Quim, who was leading the standings by one point, ultimately finished as runner-up after scoring one first place and two second places in the heats and finishing the final in second place, just over two tenths of a second behind the winner. Just one second adrift, Pol crossed the chequered flag. He had been the fastest in qualifying but was unable to maintain his lead in the heats, achieving two victories and a second place that sent him to third place on the starting grid for the final.
Two other drivers competed in Jerez de los Caballeros with Speed Car's Car Cross. With a Wonder, Joan Salichs finished fifth after coming third in the time trial and fourth in the overall standings after finishing second in all three heats. With an Xtrem, local driver Iván Méndez took on the CEAX regulars without any complexes and, after finishing tenth in practice and fourth in his three qualifying heats, which earned him seventh place on the starting grid, he completed the final in ninth position.
The last race of the season in the Car Cross Series category saw Jon Bikendi achieve his best result of the year. After finishing fifth in the two previous finals in Miranda de Ebro and Mollerusa, the Speed Car Wonder driver managed to climb onto the podium in the Badajoz competition. Jon was among the leaders from the start of the weekend, setting the third fastest time in the timed session and securing third place on the starting grid after finishing first and second in his qualifying heats. In the final, the Basque driver held on to third place to achieve his best result of the year, rounding off a campaign in which he has shown steady progress at the wheel of the Wonder.
Andrés Iglesias rounded off a very positive end to the season by securing his second podium finish of the year in Jerez de los Caballeros. After finishing third in Miranda de Ebro and fifth in Mollerusa, the Speed Car Wonder driver once again took third place in the final round of the championship in the Junior category. Andrés was the fifth fastest in the timed session, moved up to third on the grid after taking two first places and a third in the qualifying heats, and in the race that closed the competition he maintained the third place from which he started with his Wonder. With another Car Cross unit manufactured by Industrias Lahoz, Asturian Saúl Martínez qualified in sixth position in the final after finishing seventh in the time trial and ninth in the heats.
