Rasmussen doubles at Danish EP Off-road Series Rd1

The first round of the DRCMU Danish National Series was held at the RC Kongen hobby shop. Jonas Kaerup and Jesper Rasmussen set the early race pace. A hot and sunny race day on the large carpet track provided great conditions for all the drivers. It was a fantastic day to kickstart the outdoor summer racing and the start of the Danish Nationals. Jonas Kaerup was off to a flying start in qualifying and took TQ at his home track, just managing to hold off his junior teammate Jesper in qualifying. In the finals it was youth that prevailed and the more consistent Jesper Rasmussen took the victory in front of Jonas Kaerup.

In 4WD it was the 2014 champion Jesper Rasmussen who was fastest in qualifying. 7-year-old baby boot camp driver Marcus Kaerup, son of Jonas, made his first 4WD Modified A Final in fifth spot on the grid. What a performance by the young, up-and-coming super-star. In the finals Jesper had a great battle with Team C driver Jan Larsen. Jesper won legs 2 and 3 of the finals to secure the victory. Youngster Kaerup switched his fifth place starting position for a third place podium finish in the finals, again a super strong performance.
