Ronald Volker defends European Indoor title
Ronald Volker has successfully defended his EFRA European Indoor title with victory over the weekend in Hrotovice in the Czech Republic. The Yokomo driver dominated proceedings, as he has done in almost all races in the past 12 months, and took the TQ spot in qualifying ahead of Xray driver Alexander Hagberg in 2nd and Yokomo team mate Yannic Pruemper in 3rd. In the finals Ronald checked out in the first two to wrap up the title early and so didn’t race the 3rd leg allowing Pruemper and Hagberg to battle it out for the runner up spot. Hagberg with two 2nd spots in the first legs looked favourite to take it but a diff problem allowed Pruemper to snatch the leg win and claim 2nd overall on a tie breaker, with Hagberg having to settle for 3rd spot.
